Adding or Subtracting Whole Dollars (Word) Worksheet Download
This worksheet gives a starting amount under twenty dollars that always includes cents, then adds or takes away a whole number of dollars. Because only whole dollars move, the cents come through unchanged, which is both the point of the sheet and a quick way for students to check themselves. The problems are split between adding and subtracting, so the wording has to be read rather than assumed, and every answer stays above zero and under twenty dollars.
