33 x 12 divided by 365 = £1.08 x 4 = about £37 and that took me ages! |

"I make it £38.42
Yeah? Pocket the £1.42, eh? How did you work it out?
you pay by calender month so it was £33/31 (days in August) x 5 = £5.32 + £33 = £38.32  "
So, more expensive in February then? |

I make it £38.43 based on 5 days remaining this month and a full month @ £33 for sept.
And it IS an arithmetic question. All it uses is the basic four arithmetical functions.

We don't do GCSE in Scotland but, as I understand it, they're roughly the equivalent of our old 11+. |
