Use a calculator to find the sum of these amounts of money. Give your answer in pounds [tex](£)[/tex].

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

Answer :

To find the sum of these amounts of money, we need to add them all together, making sure they're in the same units. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Convert pence to pounds:
We have 67 pence, which needs to be converted to pounds to add it easily with the other amounts in pounds. There are 100 pence in a pound, so:
[tex]\[
\text{67 pence} = \text{£}0.67
\][/tex]

2. List the amounts in pounds:
- £54.70
- £0.67 (converted from 67 pence)
- £183.00

3. Add the amounts in pounds:
[tex]\[
\text{£}54.70 + \text{£}0.67 + \text{£}183.00 = \text{£}238.37
\][/tex]

So, the total sum of these amounts is £238.37.
