Use the skills and strategies you have learned
to solve each problem.- Dan buys school supplies for $8.47.
He gives the cashier a twenty-dollar bill.
The cashier makes change with the
fewest possible coins and bills. What
coins and bills does Dan receive as change? - A sweater is on sale for $18.89. Elena says the
sweater costs about $18.00. Rita says it costs
about $19.00. Who do you think is right? Why? - Juwon receives a total of $75.00 for his birthday.
He wants to buy a pair of sneakers that costs
$79.95, including tax. Will his birthday money
be enough to pay for the sneakers? - Neither Mei nor Jaycie has pennies, but they both
have $0.45. Mei has 3 coins. Jaycie has 6 coins.
Which coins does each girl have? - The cost of Ms. Johnson’s purchases at the
drugstore is $7.82. She gives the clerk a ten-dollar
bill and 2 pennies. Since the ten-dollar bill is
more than enough to pay for Ms. Johnson’s
purchases, why might she give the clerk the
extra 2 pennies? - Would you rather have 5 quarters, 15 dimes, or
a one-dollar bill? Why? - The table at the right shows how many
pennies different classes in Glenn School
have collected for charity. Which class collected
the fewest pennies? Which class collected the
most? How much money did each class collect?
