Example Question #6 : Decimals
Above is the menu at the concession stand at a school carnival. Ken wants to purchase a hamburger, a medium order of fries, and medium soda for himself, and a hot dog, a small order of fries, and a small soda for his friend Donna. He hands the clerk a $10 bill and a $5 bill. He has some $1 bills in his pocket; how many of them will he need to hand to the clerk along with the other two bills?

Example Question #6 : Adding Multi Digit Decimals
Solve:
When we add with multi-digit numbers with decimals, we start with the numbers furthest to the right and work our way towards the left.
Add the numbers in the hundredths place:
Your work should look something like this:
Add the numbers in the tenths place:
Your work should look something like this:
*Notice that the decimal moves directly down when we are adding decimal numbers.
Add the numbers in the ones place:
Because this sum is greater than 9, we write the 2 from the ones place and carry the 1 from the tens place over to the left. Your work should look something like this:
Add the numbers in the tens place including the one carried over:
Your final answer should be:
