| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Ana: When you go shopping in Brazil, you’ll notice that the cashier won’t give small change like 2 or 3 cents. It’s because in Brazil, one cent coins are not used anymore. Instead, they round up or down to a number that ends in 0 or 5. For example, if you buy something that costs 1 real and 98 cents, you probably won’t receive any change if you give 2 reals to the cashier. If the price is 2 reals and 42 cents, the cashier will return 60 cents if you give him 3 reals. |

HideHow well do you know your numbers in Portuguese? Practice writing quantities in the comments.
Olá, Cheray!
That's it! We usually don't expect the cashier will give back one cent. /But most of the prices are like 2.99 , 4.99 just to get the client's attention.
Hi I’m sorry I’m a little confused with the cultural insight on how money works so In Brazil the cashiers will not give you exact change because there is no 1 cent is that correct
Olá, Enes!
Thank you for sharing!
