Question

Jefferey Says he has 6.8 dollars. How to you write the decimal 6.8 when it refers to money? Explain.

Answer 1

6 Dollars and 80 cents

Answer 2

Okay well if he has 6.8 dollars that would be in decimal format.  However, this is actually $6.80.  That is six dollars and 80 cents.

Lets say you had $6 and 75 cents.  You can write that as 6.75 as well since the conversion factor for 1 dollar is 100 pennies.
