Change from ₹100 and ₹500 — Money maths for kids

The method

Count up in jumps — “jump to the next ten, then the next hundred, then the note paid”

1. Find the total cost first.
2. Change = note paid − cost.
3. Count up in jumps (to the next ten, then hundreds) and add the jumps.

Use it for: Shopping with bigger notes, checking change, and Class 3–4 money word problems.

Worked example: Rohan buys a water bottle for ₹165 and a pen for ₹20, and pays with a ₹500 note. How much change does Rohan get (in ₹)? → 315
