Respuesta :

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.24 times 3 = 3.72

.95 (the value of pence to a pound in decimal form) = 2.85

6.18 for the teapot

2.72+2.85+6.18=11.75

She now has £8.25 left (20-11.75).

8.25/1.57=the amount of plates she can buy: 5.25477707006, so 5 with some money left

cess28
3 cups at 1.24= 3.27
3 saucers at .95= 2.85

3.27+2.15= 6.57+ 6.18= 12.75

20.00-12.75=7.25

1.57x4= 6.28

Therefore Jenny can only by 4 plates.
Her remaining balance after is £7.25 after she bought cups, saucers, and a teapot. She bought 4 plates with .97 remaining

Answer is 4
