76 12s. 5d. Answer,

In this example having multiplied the given sum by 3 and cut off the four right hand figures of the product, I double the first figure (6) for shillings, the figures in the second and third places (21) abating 1 for being over 12, (20) I consider as farthings, equal to 5d. In Dolls. 255,406 therefore, are £76 12s. 5d.

HERE & in the fourth place of decimals (1080 of a pound) being of inferior value is not reckoned. The loss in this place is always less than one farthing.

If there be no mills in the given sum, multiply as before & cut off 3 figures only. If there be neither cents nor mills that is, if the given sum be dollars, multiply by 3 and cut off one figure only.
