    Bronze:the total is 24 I know this because 6×4=24
    Silver:the total is 3 pound and 4 shillings I know this because 3 sovereign and 2 florin equals that amount.
    Gold:out of 10 shillings and 3 guineas, 3 guineas is more because 3 guineas are 63 shillings.

    Bronze:
    The chimney sweep earned 24p and I know this because 4 x 6 = 24.
    Silver:
    The answer is 3.48. I know this because
    a souvenir is one pound and a florin is 2 shillings.So if you do 1×3 it is 3 and if you do 2×2 it is 4.
