Maths: Number Stories

Today, at Maths, we worked out the answer to our 'Number Stories'.
Question 1:  Sione, Estherose and Eli went to the shops.  They bought a pair of shoes, a box of strawberries and some mangos.  How much money did they spend?

They spent $101.00, $10.00 and $20.00, said Sonasi and Angelina.
101 + 10 + 20 = 101 + 30 said Ellma
and Sonasi said that 101 + 30 = 131      
So the children spent $131.00
           
Question 2:
Ellma, Lupe and Cooper went to the shops. They bought a playstation game, 3 apples and 5 mangos.  

The playstation game cost $99.00, the apples cost $15.00 and the mangos cost $10.00.

How much money did they spend?
They spent 99 + 15 + 10 said Cooper.
We know that 90 + 10 + 10 = 110 said Ben.
And we know that 9 + 5 = 14 said April.
So 110 + 14 = 124 said Cooper.
The children spent $124.00.

Question 3:
Chester and Matthew went to the shops.  They spent $3.00 and $2.00.  How much money did they spend altogether?

They spent $3.00 + $2.00 said Ana.
3+2=5 said Leone.
So they spent $5.00 said Ana and Leonie.
