Activity 1: Roblox VR Shopping
Imagine you are in a virtual reality Roblox world where you can buy items for your avatar. You have a budget of 500 Robux. Choose three items from a virtual store and find their prices. Add up the prices to see if they fit within your budget. If they don't, try different combinations of items until you find one that fits.
