Try a sample Money — change and coins question
Question 1 — Easy
Priya buys a bunch of grapes at the school canteen for $2.35. She pays with a $5 note. How much change does she receive?
Answer: $5.00 minus $2.35 equals $2.65, so Priya receives $2.65 in change. Option A ($3.65) is wrong because the student subtracted only $1.35 instead of $2.35. Option C ($2.75) is wrong because the student made an error in the cents column, treating 100 cents minus 35 cents as 75 cents. Option D ($3.35) is wrong because the student subtracted $1.65 rather than $2.35.
Question 2 — Medium
Priya buys a cheese sandwich at the school canteen for $2.35. She pays with a $5 note. How much change does she receive?
Answer: $5.00 minus $2.35 equals $2.65, so Priya receives $2.65 in change. Option A is wrong because the student subtracted incorrectly, getting $3.65 instead of $2.65. Option C is wrong because the student may have written down the cost of the sandwich instead of calculating the change. Option D is wrong because the student likely made an error in the cents column, subtracting 35 cents from 70 cents rather than from $5.00.
Question 3 — Hard
Kofi visits a market stall at the Fremantle Markets and buys a small toy boomerang for $1.85. He pays with a $5 note. What is the total amount of change Kofi receives?
Answer: $5.00 minus $1.85 equals $3.15, so Kofi receives $3.15 in change. Option A is wrong because the student likely calculated $3.00 - $0.85 = $2.15, using $3 instead of $5 as the starting amount. Option B is wrong because the student subtracted $1.75 instead of $1.85, making an error in the cents. Option D is wrong because the student may have subtracted only $2.15 from $5.00, reversing the change and cost.
