You honestly telling me you can't do this.

16p an apple times 11 = £1.76.

£2.71 minus £1.76 = 95p. 5 oranges cost 95 therefore one costs 19p

Substitute to make an equation and then solve it

get good at math kid

Instead of complaining he can’t do maths. Just help the kid. Not many kids will get maths easy. Some tend to struggle at subject. Be kind and support.
