Watch: What is change?
When you pay someone more than needed, the money they give back to you is the change.
Find out how to work out change with this video.
Narrator: It's this shop assistant's first day in a new job and he’s feeling rather nervous. And this is his first ever customer.
Shop Assistant: Err, ok…
Narrator: Well, get on with it and let her buy her things.
50p £2.50 and £3.50…that's £6.50 pence altogether. You have to give her change!
Shop Assistant: Yes, sure…
Um, so I need to work out the difference between ÂŁ6.50 and ÂŁ10.
Okay, so I need to subtract ÂŁ6.50 from ÂŁ10.
Narrator: ÂŁ3.50, perfect.
Interesting first day.
