Pupils may add together costs that are expressed in different units (e.g. the cost of petrol in pence and the cost of a car park in pounds) without considering the implications on place value.
Writing units on your answers to each stage of working can help you to double check whether numbers in subsequent calculations are expressed in the same units.
