Question

At the grocery store, you buy a carton of milk for $1.95, a loaf of bread for $0.85, and a box of cereal for $2.05. Use mental math to find the total cost of the groceries.

Answer 1

Add 1.95 and 2.05 first because the tenths and hundreths add up to a dollar. 1.95+2.05 is 1+2+1 which is 4. Then just add 0.85, which makes $4.05. Mental math can be easy if you just think about the order you do them!
