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?
THIS IS MY ANSWER TO JULIE’S PROBLEM— $1.60
—————————————————————————————-
5X5=25
6X10=60
3X25=75
25+60+75=160
Gabby, you did a great job showing your math thinking and solving the problem. Thanks for your time and effort. Rock on with math! Mrs. Eaves
Max says:
#1 Julie had $1.60 in all.
#2 Tera had 0.88 cents. And she had 0.38 cents after she bought the gum.
#3 Liam had $4.75 left.
#4. Zack got $1.40 in change back.
Max, this is great math work. Thanks for doing ALL of the problems and sharing your solutions. Move on with math! Mrs. Eaves
5×5=25(10×6=60)(25×3=75)
25+60+75=$1.60. is Julie’s
13×1=13(7×5=35)(4×10=40)
13+35+40=$00.88 is Tera’s money. 88-50=$00.38 is how much money she had left.
Liam,
Thanks for solving the problems and showing your math thinking so clearly. You are really good at this. I hope you’ll keep believing in yourself! You have great math skills.
thanks.
This is the answer for Julie…
$1.60 because…
75+25=$1.00
$1.00+60=$1.60 🤗

Thanks for sharing your great math thinking to solve the problem.

This is the answer to Tera…
$0.38 because…
40+10=50
7nickles-2=5nickles
Pennies 13
Nickles 5
No dimes
Thanks for sharing your thinking and letting us know how it could be solved.
🙂 Mrs Eaves
