A little shop at the top lists six things and what each one costs, all under 50 cents. Below are six short shopping stories: buying two things, the money left after a purchase, how much more one thing costs than another, buying three of the same thing, change from a dollar coin, and what is left from two quarters and a dime. Read each one aloud, find the costs in the list and write the answer in the box. Page 2 is the answer key.
