Asking about Prices

There are many ways to ask about prices in English. The first thing to remember is that since money
is uncountable, we need to use 'How much' to ask about it. Here are some of the most common
expressions used to ask about prices. You can use them in your everyday shopping

How much is this/that? (are these/those?)

How much does this/that (these/those) cost?

Tip!
To be very polite when you want to ask about prices, you can use the following phrases:

● What is the asking price of this?

● Would you please check the price of this for me?
● Would you please tell me the price of this/that?

Telling the Price

To answer a question about prices, we use 'it'. If you are saying the price at the moment, you use: 'It +
is'. If you have bought something and you want to say how much you paid for it, you can use: 'It +
was'. Examples:

It is $2.50.
It was $445.

When reading prices, we typically divide the number by the decimal point. This means that we first
read all of the numbers to the left of the decimal point, and then start over and read all of the numbers
to the right of the decimal point.

$352.20 - Three hundred fifty two, twenty

$5.30 - Five, thirty
$25.60 - Twenty five, sixty
