As they walked down the street, Minho peered into
a pet store with all sorts of animals. A sign on
the door said there was a sale on birds two
birds for 30 or one for 20. If Minho and his
mother purchased two birds that were on sale,
would they have saved any money rather than
buying only one bird?
13
Solution ?
Although you did not purchase any birds, if you
did, how much money would you save? One bird
equals 20.00 and two birds equals 30.00,
therefore
30.00 (two birds)
-
20.00 (one bird)

10.00 saved

After such a long day of errands with his mother,
Minho fell asleep on the couch and had dreams of

and math around him, and realized how fun it
could be. He also learned how to keep a budget
and was eager to start another afternoon with his
mother!!
