  •  It's two pounds.
  • It's a/one hundred pounds.
  • It's two hundred and fifty pounds.
  • It's four thousand nine hundred and eighty-five pounds.

b) It's 1.34 pounds

How can you say this?


  • It's one pound, thirty four pence.
  • It's one pound, thirty four. 
  • It's one, thirty four. (more used) 
People use the terms "pound" or "pence" very rarely.

Note that people write the pound symbol
and separate the pounds and the pence with a full stop (.)

But

a) How much is the Dairylea cheese?
b) I't 57 p.

How can you say this?
