How it works

Free do you have enough money worksheets give a wallet amount and a price, such as $6.50 and $7.25. Students circle yes or no, then write how much is left over or still needed.

Read the full guide

Yes or no first, then how much

On do I have enough money worksheets the verdict comes first: with $6.50 in hand and a price of $7.25, the answer is no. Then subtract the smaller amount from the larger, $7.25 − $6.50 = $0.75, and mark it more needed. When the wallet wins, the difference is left over. The key writes a difference under a dollar with a cent sign, as 75¢, and no wallet matches its price exactly.

Which sheet to print first

Start with whole dollars to $10, where the only question is which number is larger. Move to prices to $10 that end in 0 or 5, then to any cents up to $20, where the subtraction regroups. Near misses come last.

Ask for the verdict as a full sentence, such as no, I need 75¢ more, the words a cashier hears.
On Prices ending in 99¢, have students read $4.99 as almost $5 before they compare.
When students stop reading at the dollars, print Near misses: a few cents apart, where $4.95 must be checked against $5.00.

Questions and answers

What is the next dollar up strategy?

A way to pay without counting coins: look at the dollars in the price and hand over one more. For $3.45 that is 4 one-dollar bills, and $0.55 comes back. A price with no cents needs no extra dollar.

How do I teach a student to check if they have enough money?

Compare the dollars first: more dollars than the price means yes, fewer means no. Only when the dollars match do the cents decide, so $6.20 against $6.45 is no, by 25¢.

What grade are enough money worksheets for?

Whole dollar sheets suit grade 2, the cents sheets grades 3 and 4, and life skills classes use both at any age. The matching standards are Common Core 2.MD.8, Texas 3.4(C) and Common Core 4.MD.2, which covers money problems with decimals.

Enough money? Dollars and cents 7

Enough money? Prices in quarters You have $3.75 and the price is $4.50: no, and $4.50 − $3.75 = $0.75 more is needed. Every amount ends in .00, .25, .50 or .75, so the difference can be counted in quarters.
Enough money? Prices to $1 You have $0.60 and the price is $0.85. 60 is less than 85, so no, and $0.85 − $0.60 = $0.25 more is needed. Every price is a dollar or less, written with the dollar sign and a point.
Enough money? Prices to $10 You have $6.50 and the price is $7.25. The dollars already say no, and $7.25 − $6.50 = $0.75 more is needed. Prices end in 0 or 5, and half the wallets on the page are enough.
Enough money? Prices to $20 You have $14.37 and the price is $12.89: yes, with $14.37 − $12.89 = $1.48 left over. Any number of cents can appear, so the subtraction often regroups.
Enough money? Prices to $50 You have $32.50 and the price is $28.75: yes, with $32.50 − $28.75 = $3.75 left over. Prices run from $10 to $50, the size of a grocery trip or a pair of shoes.
Near misses: a few cents apart You have $4.95 and the price is $5.00: no, because $5.00 − $4.95 = $0.05 is still missing. Wallet and price are never more than 9¢ apart, so students must read the cents and cannot stop at the dollars.
Prices ending in 99¢ You have $5.00 and the price is $4.99: yes, with $5.00 − $4.99 = $0.01 left over. Every price ends in 99¢, the way shop prices often do, so $4.99 is read as almost $5.

Enough money? Whole dollars to $100 You have $45.00 and the price is $60.00: no, and $60.00 − $45.00 = $15.00 more is needed. Prices are whole dollars from $10 to $100, for bigger buys such as a coat or a bus pass.
