At the store
See what two prices add up to
Two tags can hide a total until you add them.
- Calculated from what you enter
- About 2 minutes
- Easy
The short version
- For someone who already has the numbers in hand.
- Add two prices you type.
- It is not a decision about what you should buy, sign, or qualify for.
The moment
You have one item in each hand. Each tag has a price. The page adds those two prices and nothing else.
After this, you can see what two prices add up to.
Your guess first
These numbers are an illustration, not a store price. First price 4.00; Second price 6.00.
The turn
The first illustration comes out to $10.00. Added as you typed them. A second illustration comes out to $11.65. Added as you typed them.
Why the number hides
A register adds prices. Doing it before you get in line is the same addition, on your phone, with numbers you choose.
Now run your own numbers
Do this next
- Read the first number.
- Type it in the first box.
- Type the second number.
- Read the total.
- Change a number if you misread it.
Who this will not work for
- A price this page did not ask you to type.
- Tax, unless you folded it into a number.
- Advice about what you should buy.
A pitfall
If tax is not on the tag, this total will not match the register. Type tax only if you already know it and want it inside one of the two prices.
How this was calculated
The two prices are added. Nothing else is added.
This is arithmetic on the numbers you type. It doesn't check store prices.
