Prices and change at the till, sentence 1
The fastest way to check change is to count up from the price: Jake pays £10 for a £3.50 toy, so £3.50 + 50p = £4, + £1 = £5, + £5 = £10, and his change is 50p + £1 + £5 = £6.50.
Who acts: fastest way, Jake, change, p · What happens: check, be, pay, change · To what, where: change, price, 50 p
