It’s Wednesday – here are some math problems to solve

We’re starting to work with money.  This is another way for us to practice multiplying by 5 and 10 and to think about the power of 10 when switching coins to dollars.  I’ll start out gently and hope you find the last problems bit more challenging.

Julie had five nickels, six dimes and three quarters in her pocket.  How much money did she have altogether?

Tera had thirteen pennies, seven nickels and four dimes.   She bought some gum for $.50.  How much money did she have left?

Liam had $12.50.  He spent $7.75 when he went shopping.  How much money did he have left?

Zack went to the snack bar at the rink.  He bought a hot chocolate for $2.35 and a hot dog for $1.25.  He gave the cashier a 5-dollar bill.  How much change did he get back?
