Shopping and adding up prices

When you go shopping you add up the prices of the things.
Write all the prices under each other and add them.

Example: notebook $3, pencil $2, eraser $1.
$3 + $2 + $1 = $6
Everything together costs $6.

Tip: for the change you subtract the price from the money you paid.
The numbers filled in show the solution.

Example

1. $6
