Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up the penny and the nickel because both can look similar in color or size, leading to wrong totals.
• Forgetting the cent sign or the dollar sign, which changes the meaning of the amount completely.
• Reading $0.50 as fifty dollars or fifty instead of fifty cents, because the decimal point is easy to miss.
