What your child will learn

  • I can find what a purchase costs with a fee, a cash discount or a pay-later plan, and pick the cheapest way.
  • I can work out what paying late or carrying a card balance adds.
  • I can weigh a benefit such as cash back against its fee.

Standard: state-only

Words to know

card fee: Extra money a shop adds for paying by card.

cash discount: Money taken off for paying cash.

pay-later plan: Equal payments over time instead of paying all at once.

late fee: Extra money charged when a payment is late.

cash back: A share of spending a card gives back.

Common mistakes

Your child gave only the fee, discount or extra cost, not the amount paid. Check which line the question asks for.

Your child added the percent as if it were dollars (3% as $3). Turn the percent into dollars first.
