Amounts of money may be written in several different ways. Cents
may be written with the ¢ sign and dollars can be written with
the dollar sign ($). Adding money that is expressed in these
forms just involves adding the amounts and placing the proper
sign on the answer. Often money is written as a decimal with
dollars to the left of the decimal point and cents to the right
of the decimal point. Twenty-three dollars and eighty-seven
cents is written $23.87. Decimal money amounts are added the
same way that decimals are added. Remember to put the $ sign
before the answer. Adding Decimals is just like adding other
numbers. Always line up the decimal points when adding decimals.
Remember to put the decimal point in the proper place in your
answer.
