Question

50 POINTS Vanessa has 6 dimes and 2 pennies. Joachim has 1 dollar, 3 dimes, and 5 pennies. Jimmy has 5 dollars and 7 pennies. They want to put their money together to buy a game that costs $8.00. Do they have enough money to buy the game? If not, how much more money do they need? SHOW WORK

Answer 1

Answer:they need more money

Step-by-step explanation: they need 96 more cents

Answer 2

Vanessa: a dime = 10 cents = 0.10

A penny = 1 cent = 0.01

6 x 0.10 = 0.60

2 x 0.01 = 0.02

Total = 0.60 + 0.02 = 0.62

Joachim : a dollar = 1.00

3 x 0.10 = 0.30

5 x 0.01 = 0.05

Total = 1.00 + 0.30 + 0.05 = 1.35

Jimmy: total = 5.00 + 0.07 = 5.07

Total of all 3: 0.62 + 1.35 + 5.07 = $7.04

This is less than $8 so they don’t have enough.

They need: 8.00 - 7.04 = $0.96 more
