Complete the answers below. Remember to show your thinking

1. Moana has $81 and she gives her friend $18. How much money does Moana have left?

18 + 2 = 20

20 + 60 = 80

80 + 1 = 81

       18 + 63 = 81 so 81 - 18 = 63

2. Jake collected $75 from his pocket money to buy a present for his mum. The present only costs $39 so how much change does he have? 39 + 1=40 30+30=70

      70+5=75       

      39 + 36 =75 so 75 -36=63✔

3. Dad takes $93 with him to the fair. He comes back with $57. How much did he spend?

57 +3=60

60 +30=90

90+3=93

so 57+36=93 so 93-57=36✔

At the park the lolly seller has collected in $103.

She has to pay $88 out for buying lollies for the next day. How much money does she have left?

4. Sam has $110 and spends $89 on some playstation games he wanted. How much money does he have left?

5. I start shopping with $64 and come home with $38. How much did I spend when I was out shopping? 38+2=40

     40 +20=60

The hard thing was counting in my head.

6. I wanted to collect $100 for charity, but only managed to get $82. How much less than $100 is that? 82+8=90
