Booking a Holiday
spending money


How much money will you need in your wallet? To work it out, you've costed up your
first day.

Entrance to water park £15
Taxi £10
Lunch and Evening meal £13
Bottle of wine £6
Pint of beer £1.25

You decide you need £45 a day.

How much cash will you need altogether? You can work this out by multiplying the daily amount - £45 - by the number of days you are away - 14. This makes the sum 45 x 14.

For more help with long
multiplication, have a

bbc skillswise.


This is a long multiplication sum.
