Count the notes. How many five-pound notes are
there? How many 10-pound notes are
there? And how many 20-pound notes are
there?
In the picture, we can see lots of
money. But there aren’t any coins
here. These are all notes, and each note
shows a different number of pounds. Now this question tests how good we
are at recognizing these notes. We need to count how many
five-pound notes there are, how many 10-pound notes there are, and also how many
20-pound notes there are. So let’s start by thinking about
the five-pound notes. How do we know a five-pound note if
we see one? A five-pound note is a sort of
bluey-green color, but really importantly, it has the number five written on it. This is how we know it’s worth five
pounds. Let’s go along each row of notes
and look for five-pound notes.
We could put a counter on top of
each one we find. In the first row, there are one,
two five-pound notes. There don’t seem to be any in the
second row or the third row. But if we look in the bottom row,
we can see another one. So that’s one, two, three
five-pound notes altogether. Now we need to think about 10-pound
notes. We know that the design on a
10-pound note is a sort of browny-orange color. But the thing that really tells us
it’s worth 10 pounds is where we can see the number 10 on there. Let’s go hunting for 10-pound
notes. There aren’t any in the first row,
but if we look in the second row, we can see one, two 10-pound notes. If we quickly look in the other two
rows, we can see that there aren’t any more 10-pound notes to be found. There are two 10-pound notes.
Finally, we need to count the
number of 20-pound notes. A 20-pound note has a sort of dark
bluey-purple design to it. And it has the number 20, a two
followed by a zero. This note is worth 20 pounds. Let’s count them: one, two, three,
four, and then there’s one in the bottom row that makes five altogether. In this question, we use what we
knew about five-pound, 10-pound, and 20-pound notes to recognize them. There are three five-pound notes,
two 10-pound notes, and five 20-pound notes.
