Answer 2

Ken spent $2.37 on groceries and $0.35 on candy, and paid for them with a 5 dollar bill.

To find how much money Ken spent, we add up how much he spent on groceries and candy

Total amount spent = 2.37+0.35= $2.72

Since he paid with a 5 dollar bill, we need to subtract it from how much he spent to find the change

Change = 5 - 2.72 = $2.28

Ken got $2.28 in change.

To fill the boxes, it would be
