Instantly find the change due from £10 or £20

  • Suppose you buy something for £3.33 and you
    give a £10 note. How much change would you
    you expect to get?

    You just apply ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST
    FROM 10 to the £3.33 and you get £6.67

    Here “the last” is the 3 as zero does not count.
    So we take 2 from 9 and 3 from 10.

facility",causing the academic audience to
weep. He was next asked to raise the numbers

taking them down was obliged to ask him to
repeat them more slowly.
