There are 100 pence in a pound. 15 out of 100 is 15/100. The simplest form is 3/20
15/100
1 pound = 100 p so 15 p = 15/100 = 3/20
All school kids got used to it very quickly. The maths of predecimal currencies was another reason for the conversion to a decimal based currency system. There were 12 Pennies in a Shilling, and 20 Shilling in a Pound. That is what you need to remember. Add these two predecimal values - £3/15/6 - 3 Pounds, 15 Shillings and 6 Pence. £2/ 7/ 8 - 2 Pounds, 7 Shillings and 8 Pence. Add the pennies first. 8 Pence + 6 Pence = 14 Pence. 14 Pence = 1 Shilling and 2 Pence. Put down the 2 Pence and carry the 1 Shilling. £ / / 2 Next, add the Shillings starting with the carried over 1 Shilling from the Pence addition. 1 Shilling + 7 Shillings + 15 Shillings = 23 Shillings. 23 Shillings = 1 Pound and 3 Shillings. Put down the 3 Shillings and carry the 1 Pound. £ / 3/ 2 Finally, add the Pounds starting with the carried over 1 Pound from the Shillings addition. 1 Pound + 2 Pound + 3 Pound = 6 Pounds. £6/ 3/ 2 - Total = 6 Pounds, 3 Shillings and 2 Pence. Easy. This was mental arithmetic for shopkeepers and other business people in predecimal days.
1 pound = 16 ounces4 pounds= 4 * 16 = 64 ounces30 ounces = 30/64 or 15/32 of 1 pound
It is 15/24. This can be simplified to 5/8 but often the unsimplified version is easier to work with.
15/100
It is: 15/100 = 3/20 in its simplest form
15p/£1 = 15p/100p = 15/100 or 3/20
Since 1971, there are 100 Pence in the British Pound (GBP). Example The values are written numerically as £1.35 - One Pound and 35 Pence, or £0.35 - 35 Pence
1000 ÷ 65 = 15 remainder 25Note, there are 100 pence in 1 pound.
In pre-decimal currency there were 240 pennies in a pound and each shilling was worth 12 pence. 27 pence is 0.1125 of q pound. At todays exchange rate it equated to about 15 cents US
1 pound = 100 p so 15 p = 15/100 = 3/20
Only mint condition Uncirculated and Proof coins in the original packaging might have a value of Three Pounds, otherwise, 10 Pence coins are worth 10 Pence.
£1 = 100p → £15 - 15 × 100p = 1500p 1500p ÷ 56 p/stamp = 26 stamps remainder 44p →You can buy 26 stamps and will get change of 44p (= £0.44).
I think the answer is............1/16 I guess
Depends on the exchange rate at the time and whether the Dollars are US currency or another. Three English shillings are worth 15 pence or ·15 of a GB Pound.
There were 20 shilling in one pound. Therefore 15 shillings would equal 75 pence in todays money.
