- Hi Mrs. Post, welcome to the bake sale.
- Oh, hi, Zoe.
Y'all, it is a beautiful day.
And lucky for me, there's a bake sale at the Rise and Shine school house.
I'm hoping to find a variety of yummy treats because my family's coming to visit.
Hey, would you mind helping me keep up with what I have to spend?
Let's see how much I have.
I've got $10 plus $5 plus $5.
That's $20.
So let's work together today and keep track of the cost of everything.
Hmm.
Oh, these chocolate cupcakes look delicious.
Zoe, how much are these?
- It's $7 for a dozen, so you'll get 12.
- Okay, great.
I'd like to buy a dozen of the chocolate cupcakes.
Mathematicians, let's keep track of this purchase.
$20 minus $7.
That's $13 I'll have left.
- Thank you.
Here you go.
- Okay, great.
I have a $13 left to spend.
Zoe, do you have any recommendations?
- What about the brownies?
- Oh, my brothers love brownies.
And these, they smell so good I can almost taste them.
How much are the brownies?
- It's $5.25 for three.
- Okay, perfect.
I'll take it.
Mathematicians, let's calculate the cost of this purchase.
$13 minus $5.25.
That's $7.75 left.
These smell so good.
Thank you.
$0.75.
Okay.
I have $7.75 left to spend.
I have brownies and cupcakes, but I'd really like one more item.
Hmm.
You know what's missing here?
Cookies.
And my Nana loves oatmeal cookies.
Zoe, do you have oatmeal cookies?
- Yes.
These are $6.50 for a dozen.
- That's great.
I like to buy those.
Okay, mathematicians, let's keep track of this purchase.
$7.75 minus $6.50.
That leaves me with $1.25.
Here you go.
Awesome.
Thank you, Zoe.
I think I'm all set.
I've got cupcakes, brownies and cookies.
And I have $1.25 to spare.
My family is going to love this.
Okay, everyone, we'll see you next time.
Bye.
(upbeat music) Let's go to class.
It's a blast.
You're a great student so we know that you can do it.
Rise and Shine.
Get up off your feet.
Ah, ooo, ooo.
It's time to rise and shine!
