Add and Subtract Money

Addition and subtraction using money is similar to regular addition and subtraction, however, here the student must remember to bring down the decimal point and put the dollar sign in front of the answer. You'd be surprised how many students answer this type of problem on a test and choose a multiple choice answer that is numerically correct but does not have the decimal. Yes, the test makers are a tricky bunch!
