$22.33 

 

You can get this by collecting easier additions.

 

 

For example you start with this

$0.84 + $1.50+ $10.99+ $3.00+ $1.00+ $5.00=

 

 

Reorganize it to make the edition easier. (Collect the whole numbers together.)

 

($3.00+ $1.00+ $5.00)+1.50+10.99+$0.84

 

This makes it easier to start. 

Add all the whole numbers first

3+1+5=9

Now move onto the decimal answers. An easy way to think of this is by taking .01 away from 1.5 or 0.84 and adding it to the 10.99 to make 11. This makes another whole number which you can add to the total,

 

9+11=20

 

Now all you have left is either 1.49+0.84 or 1.50+0.83

 

Now solve one of the 2 equations.  I would personally fo to the 

 

1.50+0.83 because 1.5 is the easiest to work with. 

 

you can subtract 0.50 from 0.83 to make 1.5 a whole number.

 

0.83-0.50=0.33

1.5+0.5=2

that means you found another whole number due to the 0.5 being added onto the 1.5.

 

add the whole numbers together 20+2=22.

 

Now all you have left is the whole number and the small decimal. just attach the small decimal to the whole number such as 22.33
