Math in Everyday Shopping

Using Math While Shopping

Shopping uses math every time you buy something! You add up prices, make change, and compare costs.

How it Works

  • Add up the total price of items in your cart.
  • Subtract money you give to the cashier and get change.
  • Compare prices to find the best deal.

Why it Matters

Math helps you be a smart shopper and make sure you have enough money for what you want.

Examples

  • If you buy a toy for $5 and pay with a $10 bill, you get $5 back.

  • If apples are $2 a bag and oranges are $3, which is cheaper?
