Tim Goes to the Market. by: vianca

Tim’s aunt was coming into town, so Tim’s mom asked Tim to go to the market to pick up snacks. Tim’s mom gave Tim $5.00. With the money Tim will buy the items and have enough to ride the bus. For Tim to be able to go on the bus, each trip will cost 50 cents. How much money will Tim need for the ride to the store and the ride back home? To find out, add 50 and 50 how much is that? If you got $1.00 you’re right! When Tim gets to the store he only has $4.00 to spend. With his $4.00 he need to buy the chips and soda. Remember Tim cannot go over $4.00. When Tim gets into the store he heads to the chips section. His aunt only likes potato chips so he gets two bags of that. Each cost one dollar which means Tim spends $2.00 on chips. How much does Tim have to spend on soda? To find out, subtract 2 from 4. If you got 2 you’re right!!

After he goes to the drink section. He remembers his mom pacifically said soda. So he looks for soda. His aunt doesn’t have a favorite soda so he picks orange soda, his favorite! The soda is $1.00, he is only getting one.

When Tim went to the cash register the cashier told him the chips and the soda all together was $3.20 Tim was happy! He spent just enough money.

Tim left the store with a big smile on his face! Tim beat his aunt to the house leaving just enough time for his mom to set the snacks up, and everything goes as planed.
