    How does this quiz work?

    Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.

    What should you review before the quiz?

    Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.

    Remember:

    • A penny is worth 1¢, a nickel 5¢, a dime 10¢, and a quarter 25¢.
    • One dollar is the same as 100¢, so 4 quarters or 10 dimes make $1.00.
    • Count the biggest coins first and say a running total.
    • Use the cent sign for amounts under a dollar and the dollar sign with a decimal point for dollars and cents.
    • To find change, subtract the price from the amount paid.
