How to Play the Add Money Game

1. The Menu Selection
   When you first open the game, you’ll see the “Restaurant Open” screen.
   The Items: The kitchen has a set list of items like Burgers ($5.50), Fries ($2.75), and Sodas ($1.50).
   The Challenge: Every time you click “Next Customer,” the game will randomly pick 2 to 4 items for you to add together.
   

2. The Customer Receipt Once the game starts, look at the Customer Order box. It lists each item and its specific price.
   Read carefully: Some items might have cents that don’t end in “0,” like a Taco ($2.25).
   The “Total Due”: This will show a question mark. This is where your math skills come in.
   

3. How to Do the Math
   The easiest way to solve these is to use Decimal Addition.
   Add the Cents First: Add all the numbers to the right of the dot.
   If you have $.50 and $.75, that makes $1.25.
   Keep the $.25 for the cents box and “carry over” the $1 to the dollars.
   Add the Dollars: Add the main dollar amounts plus any “carry over” from your cents.
   

4. Entering Your Answer
   You will see a special input area with a $ sign and a . (dot).
   Left Box: Type the total Dollars.
   Right Box: Type the total Cents.
   The Two-Digit Rule: The cents box always needs two digits. If the change is 5 cents, type 05. If there is no change, type 00.
   

5. Check Your Score
   The top right corner tracks your Billings (Score):
   Correct: How many bills you calculated perfectly on the first try.
   Attempted: How many times you clicked “Calculate Total."
