How did you compute sums of dollar amounts that were not whole numbers?

$7.34

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute sum of dollars that are not whole numbers. Using the sum of$5.89 and$1.45 as an illustration :

$5.89 + $1.45

Taking the whole numbers first:

$5 + $1 = $6

Take the sum of the decimals :

$0.89 + $0.45 = $1.34

Sum initial whole + whole of sum of decimal

$6 + $1 = $7

Remaining decimal : $1.34 - $1 = $0.34

$7 + $0.34 = $7.34

step-by-step explanation:

why? because i noticed a pattern. 60 120. those numbers without the zero, make the 6 times tables leaving your answer to be b since 6 times 4 is 24 and adding a zero making it 240.
