Total cost of 3 items
Learn how to add the monetary cost of 3 items with this topic
When you buy things you need to know how much it will cost you so that you know if you have enough money. We use addition to calculate the TOTAL cost by adding up each individual item cost. Adding money is similar to adding any other numbers in math except that if the 3 numbers together add up to more than one dollar then we need to deal with both dollars and cents.
Sometimes we are just adding the cents: Say we have 3 things that cost 21 cents each. To know the total cost, we simply add the 21 cents three times to get 63 cents. If the items cost different amounts, we can still add up those 3 amounts to get a total cost:
15¢ + 23¢ + 34¢ = 72¢.
When the total goes over one dollar, we need to get an answer in both dollars and cents. So if we add 75 cents, 75 cents and 75 cents coins we have a total of 225 cents but we know that 200 cents is 2 dollars, so we have 2 dollars and a remainder of 25 cents. So the sum with answer is
75¢ + 75¢ + 75¢ = $2.25¢.
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Total cost of 3 items" from 2nd grade / Addition / Word problems. The math in this game consists of 14 questions that ask you to use addition and / or multiplication to find out how much the 3 items cost in total.

Sometimes in math the sums are not given to you as numbers in columns, but as words and sentences. This doesn't mean that the math you have to do is different, but it does mean you have to work out first what the sum you are being asked to do is, and then work on the sum itself. In this set of topics, the questions are to do with adding up either the total number of items or the total cost of a set number of items.
When we want to understand math problems in sentences, we need to read carefully through the sentence and create a sum that takes the number information out of the sentence and puts it in a sum. For instance, in the sentence "Jack has 6 apples and Jill has 12 apples." we can see that the things we are interested in are the apples, and the numbers we need to sum are 6 and 12. So, to get the total number of APPLES, we add up the 6 (that Jack has) and the 12 (the number of apples that Jill has). Written as a sum this will be
6 + 12 = 18
So we can say that the number of apples that Jack and Jill have is 18.
When the sentences we are looking at involve money, we have a similar situation, but our addition sum will involve adding amounts of money rather than numbers of items. Sometimes this is easy. Say we have 2 things that cost 12 cents each. To know the total cost, we simply add the 12 twice to get 24 cents. If the 2 items cost different amounts, we can still add up those 2 amounts to get a total cost. For 3 items, the idea is the same.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
