Transcription Notes:
I tried to make the columns line up to see the math more easily. £12.~.~ = 12 pounds, 0 shillings, 0 pence -3.4 = 0 pounds, 3 shillings, 4 pence 18.4- = 18 pounds, 4 shillings, 0 pence so the math adds up correctly 1 pound = 20 shillings; 1 shilling = 12 pence The notation they use to write the values is pounds.shillings.pence
