6th grade Q1

Let's see how you can solve 1 step problems involving addition of decimals.

Example:

Althea bought a pair of pants for Php 432.20 and a T-shirt for Php 257.39. How much did she spend?

Step 1: Understand the problem

You are asked to find the total amount she spent. This means you need to add the two amounts together: $432.20+257.39$

Step 2: Line up the decimal points

Make sure the decimal points are lined up so you're adding digits in the correct place value.

Step 3: Add each column of digits from right to left

Start with the smallest place value, the hundredths place: 0+9=9

Next, move to the tenths place: 2+3=5

Keep going until all columns are added. Make sure the decimal point in your final answer is lined up with the others.

Final Answer:

Althea spent Php 689.59 in total.
