1. Problem Description

Maxine pays for 15 swimming lessons. Each lesson costs £2.25£2.25. She pays with £40£40. We need to find how much change she will get back.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to calculate the total cost of the 15 swimming lessons.
Total cost = (Number of lessons) ×\times (Cost per lesson)
Total cost =15×£2.25= 15 \times £2.25
Total cost =£33.75= £33.75
Next, we need to calculate the change she receives.
Change = (Amount paid) - (Total cost)
Change =£40£33.75= £40 - £33.75
Change =£6.25= £6.25

3. Final Answer

The change Maxine will get is £6.25£6.25.
