A shop bought £33.55 worth of chocolates. They cost 55 pence each. How many chocolates were bought?

1 answer

To solve the problem, we need to divide the total cost by the cost of each chocolate.

Total cost = £33.55

Cost of each chocolate = 55 pence or £0.55

Number of chocolates bought = Total cost / Cost of each chocolate

Number of chocolates bought = £33.55 / £0.55

Number of chocolates bought = 61

Therefore, 61 chocolates were bought.
