We solve everyday money problems using all four operations, and think about savings.
Savings is the money left after spending. If you have RM500 and spend RM120, RM80 and RM50, you spent RM250 in total, so you save RM500 − RM250 = RM250.
Remember
- Savings = money you have − money you spend.
- Add up all the spending first, then subtract.
