There are three money word problems in this activity, each one is set in the same context. The first asks what was the total amount grandma spent, the second how many grandchildren grandma has, and the third asks how much grandma spent on each grandchild. It is a good practice for learners to apply adding, subtraction, multiplying, and dividing to multi-digit decimals.
