OrientationProgrammeforScience&MathematicsinEnglishPage162

Father:

Daughter:

Mother, can you get me a bar of Cadbury chocolate, please?

Mother:

Yes,of course. Just one bar. Let me total up everything in this


basket. I have to know the estimated amount before I go to the
cashiers counter.

Son:

Mom, can I have five of these canned drinks? Please.?

Mother:

No, you can only have two. So you have to take away three.

Son:

Well, if you say so.

The three walk to the cashiers counter. The cashier greets them with a smile.
