Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A $4.50 book and $1.75 pen have a total price of $6.25.
$4.50 + $1.75 = $6.25 combined in Grade 3.
2. Paying $10.00 for a $6.25 total gives change of $3.75.
$10.00 - $6.25 = $3.75 in Grade 3 change.
3. From $10, buy $4.50 book and $1.75 pen. Change is 375 cents.
$3.75 equals 375 cents, three dollars and 75c.
4. A $2.40 juice plus $1.60 snack equals $4.00 total in Grade 3.
$2.40 + $1.60 = $4.00 because cents total 100c.
5. Change of $3.75 could be 3 one-dollar bills and 3 quarters.
75c is 3 quarters, plus $3 equals $3.75 change.
