    3. 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p +5p = 45p
    4. 10p + 10p +20p + 5p = 45p
    5. 10p + 10p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p + 5p = 45p
    6. 20p + 10p + 5p + 5p + 5p = 45p
    7. 10p + 10p + 10 + 5p + 5p + 5p = 45p
    8. 50p = 5p change.
    9. 20p + 20p + 10p = 50p, and would have 5p change.

    5p + 1p = 6p
    1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 1p = 6p
    2p + 2p + 2p = 6p
    2p + 2p + 1p + 1p = 6p
    1p + 1p + 1p + 1p + 2p = 6p
