Dollar Up

​In Class We Have Been Focusing on Exact Change The Bus Requires Exact Change.

​ Realistically, though you will rarely pay for anything in exact change. What are some reasons that you would not want to pay in exact change every time that you shop?

​So, when we shop with cash we try to use the "Dollar Up" method. For Example, if something cost $2.12 you would need $3.00 to pay for it.

​How is "Dollar Up," different from rounding or estimating?

​Let's do a few together.

​You get it!

Let's do a few more together before you try a few on your own.​
