Any one up for a sum??? trying to work this one out and gone brain dead!

A goldfish cost £1.80
An angel fish costs £1.40

Nasreen paid exactly £20 for some fish
How many of each kind did she buy?

Er Marcelle , what kind of fish did she end up buying ???
Got teenage sons so used to this sort of question.. ;))))))))
Kim

Exactly Kim

This is my 10 year old home work and me and his dad are stumped lol
Have to work out how many of each she bought totalling £20

What about 8 Goldfish (8 x £1.80 = £14.40) and 4 Angel fish (4 x £1.40 = £5.60) = £20

How did you work it out Broggy? Been trying to do it for an hour lol

Made a few guesses first that were wrong and hit lucky on 3rd guess.

I'm trying to keep my brain ok for this kind of thing cos my twin boys are 13 and some of their homework is getting beyond me, but I've a 5year old to sort out now so trying my best lol.

Broggy , I flippin hate these questions...

Well done Broggy.. :))))))))

I have to google some of the stuff my son brings home to see what it means lol
I have a ten year old and a 4 year old so will need to try and remember all this stuff

Ooohhh lovely school days. Thanks Maria

PS I've corrected it now but made a typo on my original response, so ask me about sums that's ok, but a speed typing test - forget it :0)

GCSE's...they were CSE's when I was at school
