[tex]£54.70 \quad 67 \text{ p } \quad £183[/tex]

Answer :

Certainly! Let's find the sum of the given amounts of money and give our answer in pounds (£).

1. Convert Pence to Pounds:
- We have 67 pence. There are 100 pence in a pound.
- Therefore, the conversion from pence to pounds is:
[tex]\[
\text{Pence in pounds} = \frac{67}{100} = 0.67 \text{ pounds}
\][/tex]

2. List the Amounts in Pounds:
- We are given:
- £54.70
- 0.67 pounds (converted from 67 pence)
- £183.00

3. Calculate the Total Sum:
- Add all the amounts together:
[tex]\[
£54.70 + 0.67 + £183.00
\][/tex]

4. Add Up the Values:
- First, add £54.70 and 0.67:
[tex]\[
£54.70 + 0.67 = £55.37
\][/tex]
- Then add this result to £183.00:
[tex]\[
£55.37 + £183.00 = £238.37
\][/tex]

So, the total sum of the amounts in pounds is £238.37.
