Banene and Batotoy in Butuan

Banene and Batotoy were on holiday in Butuan. On the last

afternoon, the whole family was looking around the gift shops for
presents to take back to their friends and relatives. Dad had given
each of the twins 1,000 pesos to spend.

Both Banene and Batotoy found many gifts they wanted to take
home to give their friends. In the end, Banene found her items
cost 834 pesos, and Batotoy found his items cost 655 pesos.

Before they bought them, Banene and Batotoy wanted to work

out how much change they would get and they have decided to
get a piece of paper and this is how they solve the problem:

items from 1,000 pesos.
