Question

.Meiling needs 5 dollars 35 cents to buy a ticket to a show. In her wallet, she finds 2 dollar bills, 11 dimes, and 5 pennies. How much more money does Meiling need to buy the ticket?

Answer 1

$2.20

Explanation:

First you find how much money Meiling already has

2 dollars is $2.00

11 dimes is $1.10

5 pennies is $0.05

Add them all together

2 + 1.10 + 5 = 3.15

Then subtract how much Meiling need to how much Meiling has

5.35 - 3.15 = 2.20

Meiling still needs $2.20 for the ticket
