Worked Solution
Step 1: Find total spent: $5.60 + $4.75
Cents: 60¢ + 75¢ = 135¢ = $1 and 35¢
Dollars: $5 + $4 + $1 (carried) = $10
Total spent: $10.35
Step 2: Subtract from $15.00: $15.00 - $10.35
Cents: regroup — borrow $1 from dollars: 100¢ + 0¢ - 35¢ = 65¢
Dollars: $14 - $10 = $4
Answer: $4.65
Correct answer: $4.65
