The expression "5 and 6 pence" means "5 shillings and 6 pence", and refers to the monetary system used in Great Britain prior to decimalization in 1968. Under the "£sd" system (which stands for Pounds-Shillings-Pence), there were 12 pence to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound. Thus "5 and 6 pence" would mean 5.5 shillings or 5.5/20ths of a pound - 27.5p in today's decimal terms. While shillings and the old style pence no longer circulate, 27.5p would be about 40 US cents as of mid-January 2010. The exchange rate has changed over time, however, and if you are asking as it relates to a historical period (where the exchange rate, currently about GBP1.00=US$1.60, may have been markedly different), you should probably look into the exchange rate at that time, as well as inflation or cost of living since that time, to get an equivalent real value.
well i am 12 and i get £15 a day
Assuming 12 p is 12 pence and 3 is 3 pounds ... 0.12/3.00 x 100 =12/3 = 4 Answer: 4 percent
Assuming your question refers to Mexican pesos, exchange rates change every day but during 2011-12 they've averaged about 13 or 14 Mexican pesos = US$1. So, 5 pesos would be worth about 35¢
It was worth 12 pence in pre-decimalisation money
12 pence
One pre-decimal pound was 20 shillings, one shilling was 12 pence, so one pound was 240 pence.
A 12 pence coin does not exist, but in old British money 12 pence equalled 1 Shilling and 20 Shillings equalled 1 Pound (£).
Before England decimalised the Pound, one shilling was worth one twentieth of a pound or 12 pence. Nowadays shillings aren't used, but it would be worth 5 pence of today's decimalised pound.
In old money 48 farthings = 12 pence which was worth one shilling in British currency.
26.5 pence This is not accurate. It depends on the year of the money. If the money was from the time when coins were .925 silver, then 12 shillings and sixpence would be worth 20 pounds, 62 pence in today's money (as of 1/18/2016) assuming you don't add any numismatic value on top of that. .500 silver coins would be worth 11 pounds, 15 pence. Even base metal coins would have to be put through an inflation calculator to arrive at an accurate amount in today's money.
12 pence =1 shilling 240 pence = 1 pound 20 shillings = 1 pound
There have always been 12 Pence to the Shilling since the Shilling was first introduced.
One old shilling is the equivalent of a modern 5 pence (each being 1/20 of a pound). Shillings were still legal tender as 5 pence until the early 1990s. 12 times 5 is 60 pence.
12% of 50 pence= 12% * 50 pence= 0.12 * 50 pence= 6 pence
The old British monetary system had 20 shillings to the pound and 12 pence to the shilling. So it was, alternatively, worth 1/20 of a pound, or 12d.
