Math - Money Talks!
Money is an important subject in any language - let's talk about money in Spanish!

Math - Money Talks!

This Spanish Easy Review math quiz takes a look at money. Does money really talk? Some people think so. It says, "Oh, use me to buy this," or "Oh, use me to buy that." Some people think that money 'flies' as in, "It flies out the door as soon as I get it." All joking aside - everyone does need to use money. By now you’ve already had some experience with your own money either earned through doing chores, or having an allowance, or gift money received. Some money you even saved and then it becomes a fun task to count up how much you have saved. Counting means - math. Yup - that means that money is math! Money deals with numbers and numbers do talk in the sense that they tell you answers to things!

1 .
Margie has TWENTY CENTS.
centavos de veinte
veinte centavos
veinte penique
veinte centavas
The first answer reads cents of twenty and is not the proper Spanish way to say twenty cents. The third answer reads twenty penny. It does not match the English capitalized words and penny is singular when it should have been written as plural. The last answer shows the word cents as a feminine word. Cents is a masculine word and should have been written as centavos. The second answer does show the correct Spanish translation of the capitalized words.
2 .
Do you have A DOLLAR you can lend me?
una dólar
uno dólar
un dólar
el dólar
The Spanish word for dollar is dólar and each answer shows this correctly. However, dólar is a masculine word and una in the first answer is showing a feminine indefinite article. The second answer reads one dollar so it is not the Spanish translation of the capitalized words. The last answer reads the dollar and it, too, is not the correct translation. The third answer reads a dollar and is the correct answer that matches.
3 .
SHE EARNS money for doing chores.
ella gana
ella gane
él gane
él gana
First determine the Spanish pronoun for she. That is ella. This means that the third and last answers can be eliminated. Next, 'to earn' is a regular ar verb. The correct verb tense ending for 'she earns' is 'a' or 'gana'. Both the second and third answers have used the wrong verb ending. The first answer, however, shows the correct Spanish translation for 'she earns'.
4 .
He has THREE QUARTERS.
tres caurtos
tres cautros
tres cuatros
tres cuartos
Each of the answers has the correct Spanish translation for three, tres. The third answer reads three fours so it is not the correct answer. The first and second answers have misspelled the word for quarters so they, too, are not correct. The last answer does show the correct Spanish translation for three quarters.
5 .
Will you pay THE BILL for me?
la factura
lo factura
el factura
las facturas
The capitalized words the bill shows that there is only one bill so the translated answer should also show the singular form. The last answer reads the bills which is plural. Therefore, the last answer is not correct. The second answer reads it bill so it is not correct either. The third answer does read the bill except that bill in Spanish is a feminine word and the third answer contains a masculine definite article. The first answer reads the bill and shows the definite article as feminine.
6 .
Michael is THE MONEY man!
las dineras
la dinera
el dinero
los dineros
The Spanish word for money is dinero which is a masculine word. It is also a singular word in this sentence. The first and second answers show the word and the definite article as being feminine, with the first answer showing it as a plural word. Both the first and second answers are incorrect. The last answer shows the correct masculine gender but it is showing it as a plural word. It reads the monies so it, too, is not correct. The third answer reads the money and is the correct Spanish translation.
7 .
Jason has saved SEVENTY-TWO DOLLARS.
setentidos dólars
setenta dos dólars
setenta dos dólares
setenta y dos dólares
The correct way to say seventy-two in Spanish is setenta y dos. This clearly makes the first answer incorrect, as well as the second and third answers as they are missing the 'y'. In addition, in Spanish, when you make a word plural that ends in a consonant, you add 'es'. The first and second answers have only added an 's'. The last answer shows the complete, correct Spanish translation.
8 .
Johnny found FOURTEEN CENTS in his toy box.
trece centavos
catorce centavos
quince centavos
doce centavos
Each answer shows the correct translation for cents. Now you need to know the correct translation for fourteen. In Spanish, fourteen is catorce which means that the second answer is the correct Spanish translation.
9 .
Carol has EIGHTEEN NICKELS.
diez y ocho níquel
diecinueve níqueles
diez y ocho níqueles
diecinueve níquel
The first answer reads eighteen nickel. As there are eighteen of them, the noun needs to be plural and in this case, it is singular so the first answer is not correct. The second and last answers read nineteen nickels and nineteen nickel making both of them wrong. The third answer reads eighteen nickels and is the correct Spanish translation.
10 .
Stephen received THIRTY-ONE CENTS IN CHANGE.
treinta y uno centavos de salvar
treinta y uno centavos en cambio
treinta y uno centavos de préstamo
treinta y uno en centavo
The first answer reads thirty-one cents of to save. That is simply not correct. The third answer reads thirty-one cents of loan so it, too, is not correct. The last answer reads thirty-one in cents. Again, it is not correct. The second answer, however, reads thirty-one cents in change and is the correct Spanish translation.
