Question

sylvia spent 36¢ for a pencil and 55¢ for a notepad. Use mental math to find how much you spent

Answer 1

36 plus 55 equals 91. You can do 3 plus 5 equals 8. I made 6 plus 5 smaller which is 5 plus 5, which is 10. I add 10 to 80 and add the 1 which gave me 91.

Answer 2

36¢ +55¢= that gives you 91¢ that you have spent
