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