Step-by-step solution for: Money Word Problems Worksheet / Worksheet (teacher made)
Since the user has not enabled any of the options (ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, GeneratePractice), and only requested solving the problem accurately, I will proceed to solve the problems visible in the image — specifically, I’ll solve the first few money problems from the left page (“Money Problems”) using step-by-step reasoning, then provide the final answers as requested.
Let’s start with Problem 1:
---
Problem 1: I buy a pen for $0.70 and a notepad for $2.00. How much have I spent altogether?
Step 1: Add the cost of the pen and the notepad.
$0.70 + $2.00 = $2.70
✔ Check: 70 cents plus 2 dollars is 2 dollars and 70 cents → $2.70. Correct.
---
Problem 2: I buy three cubes for $1.80 each. How much have I spent altogether?
Step 1: Multiply the price per cube by the number of cubes.
$1.80 × 3 = ?
Break it down:
$1.00 × 3 = $3.00
$0.80 × 3 = $2.40
Add them: $3.00 + $2.40 = $5.40
✔ Check: 1.80 + 1.80 = 3.60; 3.60 + 1.80 = 5.40. Correct.
---
Problem 3: I bought one bike for $49.00 and one scooter for $15.50. How much have I spent altogether?
Step 1: Add the two amounts.
$49.00 + $15.50 = ?
49 + 15 = 64
Plus 0.50 → $64.50
✔ Check: 49.00 + 15.00 = 64.00; plus 0.50 = 64.50. Correct.
---
Problem 4: I bought two pairs of socks at $2.25 each and 3 t-shirts of $6.50 each. How much have I spent altogether?
Step 1: Calculate cost of socks.
2 × $2.25 = $4.50
Step 2: Calculate cost of t-shirts.
3 × $6.50 = ?
6.50 × 3:
6 × 3 = 18
0.50 × 3 = 1.50
Total = $19.50
Step 3: Add both totals.
$4.50 + $19.50 = $24.00
✔ Check: 4.50 + 19.50 → 4+19=23, 0.50+0.50=1.00 → 23+1=24. Correct.
---
Problem 5: I bought two jumpers priced $16.40 each and four hairclips for 20c each. How much have I spent altogether?
Note: 20c = $0.20
Step 1: Jumpers cost.
2 × $16.40 = $32.80
Step 2: Hairclips cost.
4 × $0.20 = $0.80
Step 3: Total.
$32.80 + $0.80 = $33.60
✔ Check: 32.80 + 0.80 → 32 + 0 = 32, 0.80 + 0.80 = 1.60 → 32 + 1.60 = 33.60. Correct.
---
Problem 6: Sam and 2 of his friends bought a drink each for $0.75. How much did they spend in total?
Step 1: Count how many people.
Sam + 2 friends = 3 people
Step 2: Multiply drink price by number of people.
3 × $0.75 = ?
0.75 × 3:
0.75 + 0.75 = 1.50; 1.50 + 0.75 = 2.25 → $2.25
✔ Check: 75¢ × 3 = 225¢ = $2.25. Correct.
---
Problem 7: I bought one jumper for $13.00, one pair of jeans for $26.59 and a bag for $12.50. How much did I spend altogether?
Step 1: Add all three amounts.
$13.00 + $26.59 + $12.50
First, add $13.00 + $12.50 = $25.50
Then add $25.50 + $26.59:
25.50 + 26.59:
25 + 26 = 51
0.50 + 0.59 = 1.09
Total = 51 + 1.09 = $52.09
✔ Check: 13.00 + 26.59 = 39.59; 39.59 + 12.50 = 52.09. Correct.
