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.
