Don't subtract, Add

  1. Moana has $81 and she gives her friend $18. How much money does Moana have left?
18 + 2 = 20
20 + 60 = 80
80 + 1 = 81
        18 + 63 = 81 so 81 - 18 = 63
  1. Jake collected $75 from his pocket money to buy a present for his mum. The present only costs $39 so how much change does he have?
       39+1=40
                                   40+30=70
                                   70+5=75
                            39+36=75 so 75-39=36
                              
  1. Dad takes $93 with him to the fair. He comes back with $57. How much did he spend?
57+3=60
                                 60+30=90
                                 90+3=93
                          7+36=93 so 93-57=36  
  1. At the park the lolly seller has collected in $103.
She has to pay $88 out for buying lollies for the next day. How much money does she have left?
                                   88+2=90
                                   90+10=100
  100+3=103
                          88+15=103 so 103-88=15
  1. Sam has $110 and spends $89 on some play station games he wanted. How much money does he have left?             
    89+1=90
     90+10=100
                               100+10=110
                       89+21=110 so 110-89=21
  1. I start shopping with $64 and come home with $38. How much did I spend when I was out shopping?
 38+2=40
                                        40+20=60
                                       60+4=64
                                38+26=64 so 64-38=26
  1. I wanted to collect $100 for charity, but only managed to get $82. How much less than $100 is that?
  82+8=90
                     90+10=100
                       18
                            
The hard bit of this maths was I  couldn't  work out the answers in my head using multiplication.
