| need to times | 1 |
| \(1.34 \times 450 = 603\) so he would have 603 dollars instead of 335.82 | 1 |
| £450 = $603 | 1 |
| $335.82 = £250.61 | 1 |
| 1.34 is higher than 1 so £450 should be higher than itself | 1 |
| 1.34 is more than 1 so dollars should be higher than pounds | 1 |
| It should be 603 | 1 bod |
| $1 is worth more than £1 so he should get a higher answer – first part incorrect | 0 |
| Should be higher than 335.82 | 0 |
