Find the amount of each denomination, beginning with the lowest, and, except for the highest amount in which the whole amount is required, reduce each amount into the next higher denomination; then set down the remainder and carry the integers produced to the next superior denomination. In adding up the shillings, we may put down the unit figure of the units of shillings, and carry the tens to the tens, then take half the amount of these tens for pounds, and if 1 is over set it down as 10 shillings. APPLICATION OF ADDITION. Ex. 1. A, B, C, D, went partners in the purchase of a quantity of goods; A laid out £7, half a guinea,* and a crown,* B 49 s., C 54 s. 6 d., and D 87 d.-What was laid out in all? Ex. 2.
