Proceed in this manner to the greatest denomination, which add as integers. EXAMPLES OF MONEY EXAMPLE 1. I To add up this example fay, 1 and 3 is 4, and 2 is 6, and 1 is 7, and 3 is 10; 10 farthings are two-pence half-penny, fet down the half-penny thus, and carry the two-pence to the pence row ; faying 2 and 3 is 5, and 7 is 12, and 4 is 16, and 11 is 27, and 5 is 32; 32 pence is 2 fhillings and 8 pence, fet down 8 and carry 2. Then proceed to the fhillings, and fay, 2 and 2 is 4, and 7 is 11, and 9 is 20, and 8 is 28, and 4 is 32, (which is 2 above 3 tens) fet down the 2, and go on to the next row) which is compofed of a number of ones, being fo many ten fhillings, as you may fee by their being placed, or fet in the place of tens, and carry the three tens thereto; and fay, 3 and 1 is 4, and 1 is 5, and 1 is 6, and I is 7, and 1 is 8; eight ten fhillings make 4 pounds, which carry to the place of pounds, and fay, 4 and 2 is 6, and 7 is 13, and 1 is 14, and 6 is 20, and 1 is 21; write down 1, and carry 2, faying 2 and 1 is 3, and 6 is 9, and is 14, and 8 is 22, and 4 is 26, which write down; and the total will be £261. 2s. 847.
