Pocket money, saving and spending, sentence 4

A girl in Texas sees a $10 toy and brings exactly $10, but in most US states sales tax is added at the till, so she needs a little more; when the toy turns out broken in the box, she takes it back with the receipt.

Who acts: girl, toy · What happens: see, bring, add, need, turn out, break · To what, where: $ toy, sales tax, most US states, more, box, toy
