planned savings: Money set aside on purpose, for college, retirement or emergencies.

estimator: A table of pretend monthly costs for a family in a made-up city.

Common mistakes

Your child gave the part in dollars, but the question asked for its percent of the total.

What to say

Ask: how many parts are in the table, and did you add every one?

Ask: how many dollars is that for every $100 of the budget?
