Multiplication Practice: Market Buying

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will put all your multiplication skills together in a market buying challenge.

🏪 Market Story

It's Saturday and Emeka's mother gives him a shopping list and ₦500. Can he buy everything? Here are the market prices:

• Tomatoes: ₦15 each
• Peppers: ₦10 each
• Plantain: ₦40 each
• Eggs: ₦25 each
• Pure water sachet: ₦20 each

The shopping list says: 6 tomatoes, 4 peppers, 3 plantains, 4 eggs, 5 pure water.

📝 Let's Learn

Let's calculate each item:

• Tomatoes: 6 × ₦15 = ₦90
• Peppers: 4 × ₦10 = ₦40
• Plantains: 3 × ₦40 = ₦120
• Eggs: 4 × ₦25 = ₦100
• Pure water: 5 × ₦20 = ₦100

Total: ₦90 + ₦40 + ₦120 + ₦100 + ₦100 = ₦450.

Emeka has ₦500, so he can buy everything and have ₦50 left!

Click to see answers

1. Tomatoes: 8 × ₦15 = ₦120. Peppers: 3 × ₦10 = ₦30. Total: ₦120 + ₦30 = ₦150.
2. 5 × ₦40 = ₦200. Change: ₦500 − ₦200 = ₦300.
3. Eggs: 6 × ₦25 = ₦150. Water: 4 × ₦20 = ₦80. Total: ₦150 + ₦80 = ₦230.

💡 Remember

At the market, multiply to find item totals, then add them all up. Check against your budget before you buy! This is real-world maths at its best.
