Lesson 11 of 12
Giving change
Objective. Work out change from a note using counting on.
The key idea
Change is the difference between what you pay with and what you spend. Count on from the price to the amount handed over.
Worked example
You spend £7.35 and pay with £10.
- 1£7.35 to £7.40 is 5p.
- 2£7.40 to £8 is 60p.
- 3£8 to £10 is £2. Total: £2.65.
Answer: £2.65
