Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Calculate the cost of the oranges.

    George needs 6 oranges at 59p each.

    Cost of oranges=6×59 p=354 p\text{Cost of oranges} = 6 \times 59\, \text{p} = 354\, \text{p}

    Convert this to pounds:

    354 p=£3.54354\, \text{p} = \pounds3.54
  2. Calculate the cost of the grapes.

    George needs 12\frac{1}{2} kg of grapes at £3.50 per kg.

    Cost of grapes=12×£3.50=£1.75\text{Cost of grapes} = \frac{1}{2} \times \pounds3.50 = \pounds1.75
  3. Calculate the total cost of shopping.

    Total cost=Cost of oranges+Cost of grapes\text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of oranges} + \text{Cost of grapes} Total cost=£3.54+£1.75=£5.29\text{Total cost} = \pounds3.54 + \pounds1.75 = \pounds5.29
  4. Compare the total cost with the money George has.

    George has £5.
    The total cost is £5.29.
    Since £5.29>£5.00\pounds5.29 > \pounds5.00, George does not have enough money.

    George does not have enough money.
