Having trouble understanding how much yen is being asked at stores.

Just arrived in Tokyo for the first time, and It might be because we just landed last night and my brain was completely fried but the clerk tells me my total and I just kind of froze up and there was no display telling me how much yen they were asking for. Luckily after a few seconds they repeated in English but I still felt pretty stupid. I get the basic jist of saying numbers in the hundreds and thousands but I’d like to do better and not come off as an ignorant/entitled tourist who’s expecting them to cater to my ignorance.

Is there an app or anything where I could practice transactions until I get comfortable with it?

Did any one else have trouble with this their first time in Japan? And if so, how did you navigate it?

Thanks in advance!!
