Question

An officer supplies store sells one hundred and twenty eight pence in each bag a business bought nine bags of Pence 1 month and seven bags of pens next month

Answer 1

To find out how many pence the business bought in total over the two months, we can break it down as follows:

1. **Calculating the total for the first month:**
- The business bought 9 bags of pence.
- Each bag contains 128 pence.
- Total for the first month = 9 bags × 128 pence/bag = 1152 pence.

2. **Calculating the total for the second month:**
- The business bought 7 bags of pence.
- Total for the second month = 7 bags × 128 pence/bag = 896 pence.

3. **Calculating the grand total:**
- Total for both months = Total for the first month + Total for the second month
- Total for both months = 1152 pence + 896 pence = 2048 pence.

So, the business bought a total of **2048 pence** over the two months.
