Example Question #1 : How To Add Decimals
If Johnny buys two comic books, priced at $1.50 each, and a candy bar, priced at $0.75, he'll have three quarters and two dimes left over. How much money does he have right now?
$3.20
$5.10
$3.75
$4.35

$4.70
Add what he can purchase to what he has left over:
Two comic books and the candy bar: $1.50 + $1.0 + $0.75 = $3.75
Three quarters and two dimes: $0.75 + $0.20 = $0.95
Therefore his total amount of money is $3.75 + $0.95 = $4.70.
