  1. Find the total of $3.50 and $2.75.

    Answer: $6.25

    $3.50 + $2.75 = $6.25.

  2. A book costs $6.40. How much change is there from $10?

    Answer: $3.60

    $10 − $6.40 = $3.60.

  3. An eraser costs $0.80. How much do 4 such erasers cost?

    Answer: $3.20

    4 × $0.80 = $3.20.

  4. $6 is shared equally among 5 children. How much does each child receive?

    Answer: $1.20

    $6 ÷ 5 = $1.20.

  5. Mei Li had $8.50. She spent $3.75. How much did she have left?

    Answer: $4.75

    $8.50 − $3.75 = $4.75.

  6. A bun costs $1.20 and a drink costs $0.90. How much do they cost together?

    Answer: $2.10

    $1.20 + $0.90 = $2.10.

  7. Ravi bought 3 pencils at $1.50 each and paid with $5. How much change did he get?

    Answer: $0.50

    3 × $1.50 = $4.50, and $5 − $4.50 = $0.50.

  8. A sandwich costs $2.50. What is the greatest number that can be bought with $10?

    Answer: 4

    $10 ÷ $2.50 = 4 sandwiches exactly.
