All school kids got used to it very quickly. The maths of predecimal currencies was another reason for the conversion to a decimal based currency system. There were 12 Pennies in a Shilling, and 20 Shilling in a Pound. That is what you need to remember. Add these two predecimal values - £3/15/6 - 3 Pounds, 15 Shillings and 6 Pence. £2/ 7/ 8 - 2 Pounds, 7 Shillings and 8 Pence. Add the pennies first. 8 Pence + 6 Pence = 14 Pence. 14 Pence = 1 Shilling and 2 Pence. Put down the 2 Pence and carry the 1 Shilling. £ / / 2 Next, add the Shillings starting with the carried over 1 Shilling from the Pence addition. 1 Shilling + 7 Shillings + 15 Shillings = 23 Shillings. 23 Shillings = 1 Pound and 3 Shillings. Put down the 3 Shillings and carry the 1 Pound. £ / 3/ 2 Finally, add the Pounds starting with the carried over 1 Pound from the Shillings addition. 1 Pound + 2 Pound + 3 Pound = 6 Pounds. £6/ 3/ 2 - Total = 6 Pounds, 3 Shillings and 2 Pence. Easy. This was mental arithmetic for shopkeepers and other business people in predecimal days.
