Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The price tag show $1.25 at the Grade 3 school store.

Three bills is plural, so we need are, not is here.
3. Fix the sentence:
$2.75 are read as two dollars and seventy-five cents in Grade 3.

A single price is singular, so use is, not are here.
