• It can include:• Food• Clothing• Energy – heating and lighting• Petrol • Water• Entertainment
Look at this bank statement.
• A bank statement tells you how much is going in and out of your bank account.

2.2.09 Dentist £850 £30 £820
3.2.09 Tesco £820 £90 £730
4.2.09 Garage £730 £250 £480
What do the words mean?
• Credit – means when something is paid into your bank account. It can also mean that you have enough money.
• Debit - means when something is taken from your bank account. It can also mean that you owe money if you don’t have enough.
• Total – means how much you have.
Can you work this out?
• Mr Jones is paid £300 per week.• From this he has to pay the following:• Food - £80• Gas & electricity - £25• Rent - £75• Petrol – £22• Council tax - £25• How much money does he have left at the end
of the week?
Were you right?
• Mr Jones has £73 left!
• If the petrol for Mr Jones’ car went up by £15 – how much more money would he spend?
• How much would he have left now?
