Shopping and Making Change

Using Arithmetic While Shopping

Whenever you buy something, you use math! You add up prices, subtract to find out how much money you have left, and sometimes divide when sharing costs.

Everyday Shopping Math

  • Add the price of each item to get the total.
  • Subtract the total from your money to find your change.
  • Divide costs when splitting with friends.

Math makes shopping easier and helps you be smart with your money!

Examples

  • Buying a toy for $7 and a book for $5: 7 + 5 = $12

  • Paying $20 for a $15 item, you get 20 - 15 = $5 back.
