5Owen buys 2 snack packs that cost $2 each and pays with $6. With the change, Owen wants to buy as many extra items as possible at $3 each. How much money does Owen have left after buying as many of those extra items as possible?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 2
Step 1: cost of 2 snack packs at $2 each (2 × 2) = 4 Step 2: change from paying $6 (6 − 4) = 2 Step 3: how many extra $3 items the change can buy (2 ÷ 3, whole items only) = 0 Step 4: money left after buying those extra items (2 − 0 × 3) = 2 So the answer is 2 — money left over.

6Using the coin values shown, what is the total value of one quarter and one nickel together?

1c5c10c25c
Show answer & explanation
Answer: 30 cents
A quarter (25 cents) plus a nickel (5 cents) equals 30 cents. Read the values from the chart: quarter = 25 cents, nickel = 5 cents. Add: 25 + 5 = 30. The total is 30 cents. Adding 25 + 10 = 35 by mistaking the dime for the nickel, or adding 25 + 1 = 26 by using the penny.

7A tally chart shows 4 tallies for cats and 6 tallies for dogs. How many more dogs than cats are there?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 2
There are 2 more dogs than cats. Compare by subtracting: 6 dogs − 4 cats = 2. There are 2 more dogs. Students may add the two amounts and answer 10 instead of finding the difference.
