Total cost of 2 items

Learn how to add money costs 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 to pay for them. So we use addition to calculate the TOTAL cost by adding up each item cost. Adding money is similar to adding any other numbers in math except you have to take care of converting from coins to notes.

For instance, if I went and bought 2 things at 90 cents each, what would the total cost of the items be?

90Β’ + 90Β’ = 180Β’ = $1.80

So when the total goes over one dollar, we need to get an answer in both dollars and cents. So if we add 90 cents and 90 cents we have a total of 180 cents but we know that 100 cents is 1 dollar, so we have 1 dollar and a remainder of 80 cents.

With our The frog flies math game you will be practicing the topic "Total cost: 2 items" from 3rd grade / Addition / Word problems. The math in this game consists of 14 questions that ask you to use addition to find out the total cost of the 2 items.

Word problems: adding items and item costs

Learn how to add items and how to add the cost of multiple items

Topic titles:

  • Total number of items
  • Total cost of 2 items
  • Total cost of 3 items

Sometimes in math the problems are not given as numbers 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 of 2 or 3 items.

When we want to understand math addition word problems, we need to read carefully through the text and create the sum that takes the number information out of the text and puts it in a sum. When we read the text "Logan has 30 Rich tea biscuits and 17 Digestives" we can see that the sum involves finding how many biscuits Logan has in total which we find by adding up the number of Rich tea biscuits and digestive biscuits. So the total number of biscuits is 30 + 17 which is 47.

When the sentences we are looking at involve money our addition sum will involve adding amounts of money rather than numbers of items. Given the text "Grace buys 3 pencils for 54Β’, 64Β’Β and 75Β’." we realise that we need to add the 3 amounts to come to the total that Grace has spent on pencils. Because that total is greater than 100Β’, the answer will be in both dollars and cents. Can you work out what that amount will be? Try the topic "Total cost of 3 items" to check your answer.
