Primary 2 Mathematics Quiz - Money (Answer Key)

Topic: Money
Total Marks: 40

Section A: Identifying Coins and Notes (Questions 1–5)

1 mark each

1. Answer: $0.50 (or 50¢)

Method: Identify the 50-cent coin. Its value is 50 cents, which is $0.50.

2. Answer: $5.00

Method: Identify the $5 note. Its value is five dollars.

3. Answer: 20 cent coin

Method: Recognise the 20-cent coin by its size and colour (silver, smaller than 50¢).

4. Answer: 10 coins

Method: Since $1 = 100¢, divide 100¢ by 10¢ → 100 ÷ 10 = 10 coins.

5. Answer: $2.65

Method:

2 × $1 =$ 2.00
3 × 20¢ = 60¢
1 × 5¢ = 5¢
Total: $2.00 +$ 0.60 + $0.05 = **$ 2.65**

Common mistake: Students may forget to convert cents to decimal dollars (e.g., writing $2.65 as 265).

Section B: Converting Dollars and Cents (Questions 6–10)

1 mark each

6. Answer: 345¢

Method: $3 = 300¢. Add 45¢ → 300 + 45 = 345¢.

7. Answer: $2.85

Method: 285¢ ÷ 100 = $2.85 (200¢ =$ 2, remaining 85¢ = $0.85).

8. Answer: $5.08

Method: $5 and 8¢ =$ 5 + $0.08 =$ 5.08.

Common mistake: Writing $5.80 instead of$ 5.08. Remind students that 8 cents is less than 10 cents, so it goes in the hundredths place.

9. Answer: ** $6.00** (or$ 6)

Method: 600¢ ÷ 100 = $6.

10. Answer: ** $2.50** (or$ 2 and 50¢)

Method: Compare the cents. 50¢ > 5¢, so $2.50 >$ 2.05.

Section C: Adding and Subtracting Money (Questions 11–15)

2 marks each (1 mark for correct working/method, 1 mark for correct answer)

11. Answer: $3.75

Working:

  $2.30
+ $1.45
-------
  $3.75

Method: Add cents first: 30¢ + 45¢ = 75¢. Add dollars: $2 +$ 1 = $3. Total =$ 3.75.

12. Answer: $5.75

Working:

$5.00 + 75¢ =$ 5.00 + $0.75 = **$ 5.75**

Method: Convert 75¢ to $0.75, then add to$ 5.00.

13. Answer: $2.20

Working:

  $4.50
- $2.30
-------
  $2.20

Method: Subtract cents: 50¢ − 30¢ = 20¢. Subtract dollars: $4 −$ 2 = $2. Total =$ 2.20.

14. Answer: $6.35

Working:

  $10.00
-  $3.65
--------
   $6.35

Method: Borrow from the dollars. $10.00 =$ 9.00 + 100¢. Then 100¢ − 65¢ = 35¢, and $9 −$ 3 = $6. Total =$ 6.35.

Common mistake: Students may forget to borrow correctly when subtracting across zero.

15. Answer: $1.70

Working:

  $6.20
- $4.50
-------
  $1.70

Method: Subtract cents: 20¢ − 50¢ requires borrowing. $6.20 =$ 5.00 + 120¢. 120¢ − 50¢ = 70¢. $5 −$ 4 = $1. Total =$ 1.70.

Marking note: Award 1 mark for correct method even if final answer has minor error.

Section D: Real-Life Money Problems (Questions 16–20)

2 marks each (1 mark for correct working/method, 1 mark for correct answer)

16. Answer: $1.85

Working:

Pencil: $1.25
Eraser: 60¢ = $0.60

  $1.25
+ $0.60
-------
  $1.85

Method: Convert 60¢ to $0.60. Add:$ 1.25 + $0.60 =$ 1.85.

17. Answer: $1.25

Working:

  $5.00
- $3.75
-------
  $1.25

Method: Borrow from $5.$ 5.00 = $4.00 + 100¢. 100¢ − 75¢ = 25¢.$ 4 − $3 =$ 1. Total = $1.25.

18. Answer: $2.20

Working:

  $4.50
- $2.30
-------
  $2.20

Method: Subtract to find the difference. $4.50 −$ 2.30 = $2.20.

Marking note: The question asks "how much more," so subtraction is the correct operation.

19. Answer: $7.40

Working:

Three $2 coins: 3 ×$ 2 = $6.00
Two 50-cent coins: 2 × 50¢ = 100¢ = $1.00
Four 10-cent coins: 4 × 10¢ = 40¢ = $0.40

  $6.00
+ $1.00
+ $0.40
-------
  $7.40

Method: Calculate each group separately, then add all amounts together.

Common mistake: Students may multiply incorrectly (e.g., 3 × $2 =$ 5).

20. Answer: $3.20

Working:

  $8.60
- $5.40
-------
  $3.20

Method: Subtract the amount Lina has from the cost of the doll. $8.60 −$ 5.40 = $3.20.
