One day I woke up and my mom told me to go and buy food for our house. As I went to the store I took my list out. The list included a gallon of milk, which cost $1.89. The next one on my list was bread for $1.99, next was a pound of butter for $1.87. Then the last three on my list were 2 boxes of cereal for $4.00, flour for $ 1.92, and eggs for $ 1.99.
I took the groceries for my house and brought them to the casher. She added the milk and butter $1.89+ $1.89=$ 3.76. Then she added the cereal which was $ 4.00 then added flour $1.92. $1.92+$4.00= $5.92. Last she added the eggs and bread $1.99+$1.99= $3.98 so than she found the total cost by adding $3.76+$5.90 +$3.98 which made the total cost $13.98.
Then my mom called me on my cell phone. I was wondering what she wanted because I had bought everything on the list. She said, “Dequan take out the pound of butter because we already have one.” So I hung up and told the casher to take away the butter. $13.64- $1.87= $11.77. The total without the butter was $11.77.
The next day my mom told me to go to the store again. But this time she wanted all of us to have our own little bag of grapes. So I went down to the store and looked for them. Then I found the grapes for $1.25 each bag and I only had $20.00. I brought the 6 bags to the cashier who multiplied $1.25x6=$8.50. The total was $8.50, then she subtracted $20.00-$8.50=$11.50 was my change.
Then I had to buy a large pack of chicken for $11.50. It comes with 18 pieces and there are 6 of us in my house; I wondered how many pieces we get each. 6/18=3 so I figured out we would get 3 pieces each.
When I was leaving with the food I said to myself, “You did good, Dequan you did good.”
