Let’s work through each problem step by step.
We’re starting with $1.00 (which is 100 cents) and subtracting the price of each item to find out how much change we get back.
---
1. Squeaky Duck – 25¢
$1.00 - $0.25 = ?
Think: 100 cents minus 25 cents = 75 cents.
So, change =
$0.75
---
2. Baseball – 50¢
$1.00 - $0.50 = ?
100 cents minus 50 cents = 50 cents.
Change =
$0.50
---
3. Book – 99¢
$1.00 - $0.99 = ?
100 cents minus 99 cents = 1 cent.
Change =
$0.01
---
4. Doll – 60¢
$1.00 - $0.60 = ?
100 cents minus 60 cents = 40 cents.
Change =
$0.40
---
Now, let’s double-check:
- 25 + 75 = 100 → ✔️
- 50 + 50 = 100 → ✔️
- 99 + 1 = 100 → ✔️
- 60 + 40 = 100 → ✔️
All answers are correct!
Final Answer:
Squeaky Duck: $0.75
Baseball: $0.50
Book: $0.01
Doll: $0.40
