Understanding Money Symbols

At the kite festival, help Arjun, Nikau and Aisha read and write money amounts. In New Zealand, $ means dollars and c means cents. There are 100 cents in $1. Write money amounts clearly.

Read the price tags

Look at the festival stall price tags. Use the dollar and cent symbols carefully.

Kite string — $2.50

Fruit ice block — $1.20

Sticker — 75c

Mini kite — $4

3.Nikau buys a mini kite. Write its $4 price in a different correct way that shows the cents too.

4.Arjun sees the price written as 3$20. Rewrite it using the dollar symbol in the correct place.
