DAY 11

Comment

With a calculator, you could simply divide 1000 by 32 (or 10 by 0.32).
Without a calculator, you might use an estimation method:
for example, £1 will buy three 32p stamps (with some money left over), so ... .

Answer

Yes, £10 is enough to buy twenty eight 32p stamps.

DQ, of GU10 4NH:
32 times 7 is 224; times 4 is 896.
So 32 times 28 is 896.
896p = £8.96 which is less than £10.

Ann S, Sutton Coldfield B74:
32p x 3 = 96p
96p x 10 = £9.60
So she can buy more than 30 stamps.
Infact, she can buy 31 as £9.60 + 32p = £9.92.

Adrian T, Loughborough LE11:
£10 = 10 x 100p = 1000p.
28 is approximately equal to 30.
1000 / 30 is approximately 33 which is more than 32.

Lisa H, NW2:
Estimation: 30 x 30p = £9, so you would think that £10 is enough.
28 x .32 = £8.96 so yes £10 would be plenty.

Anon:
32 x .28 = 8.96.
If you have £10 then yes you have enough money to buy 32 28p stamps.
