Gerald wants to buy a meat pie that costs 2 pfennigs. Gerald has 54 farthings, and there are 6 farthings to a pfennig. How many pfennigs will Gerald have left after buying the pie?
Think hard. Detailed solution:
7
First convert the number of farthings Gerald has to pfennigs by dividing by the exchange rate: 54 farthings / 6 farthings / pfennig = 9 pfennigs.

Then subtract the cost of the meat pie to find how many pfennigs Gerald has left: 9 pfennigs - 2 pfennigs = 7 pfennigs.

.

Therefore, the answer is 7
