## Read the story

Dad spends 37 dollars at the market. He pays with 50 dollars.

How much change does he get? We count up from the price.

From 37 to 40 is 3 dollars, from 40 to 50 is 10 dollars. That's 13 dollars.

**Shopping costs 64 dollars. You pay with 100 dollars. How much change do you get?**

## Answer and working

Correct! 6 dollars up to 70, then 30 dollars up to 100. That's 36 dollars.

`100 − 64 = 36`
