Addition Practice: Market Shopping

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will put all your addition skills together to solve a market shopping challenge with multiple items and prices.

🏪 Market Story

Tunde has ₦500 and goes to the market. Here are the prices he sees:

• Rice (small bag): ₦180
• Beans: ₦120
• Garri: ₦90
• Palm oil: ₦150
• Tomatoes: ₦60

He needs to buy rice, tomatoes, and palm oil. Can he afford all three?

📝 Let's Learn

Let's help Tunde. He needs to add: ₦180 + ₦60 + ₦150.

Step 1: ₦180 + ₦60 = ₦240.

Step 2: ₦240 + ₦150 = ₦390.

Total: ₦390. Tunde has ₦500, so yes, he can afford it! He will even have ₦110 left over.

Example 1: Amina buys beans (₦120) and garri (₦90). Total: ₦120 + ₦90 = ₦210.

Example 2: What if Tunde buys everything on the list? ₦180 + ₦120 + ₦90 + ₦150 + ₦60. Add step by step: 180 + 120 = 300. 300 + 90 = 390. 390 + 150 = 540. 540 + 60 = ₦600. He can't afford all 5 items with ₦500!

1. ₦90 + ₦120 = ₦210. Yes, Bola can afford it because ₦300 > ₦210. She has ₦90 left.
2. ₦180 + ₦150 = ₦330.
3. ₦60 + ₦90 + ₦120 = ₦270. She has ₦400 - ₦270 = ₦130 left.

💡 Remember

When shopping, add up all the prices before you pay. This way you know if you have enough money and how much change you should get back!
