Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - Jan. 24, 2021 to Jan. 30, 2021

Lower Elementary: 

Question: Willy bought a candy bar for 99 cents and a bottle of water for $1.26. If he pays with a $5 bill, what is Willy's change? 

Answer:  $2.75

Solution:  The total amount Willy spent is 99¢ + $1.26 = $2.25. Because he pays $5, he will receive $5.00 – $2.25 = $2.75 as change.
