When working with money it's always helpful to remember that pennies or
cents are two decimal places and dollars are ones place so let's see how that works with each of the examples below
if we want to write the word phrase is a decimal twelve dollars and seventy five
cents so that and is where the decimal point goes so that would be twelve
point
seventy five would be twelve dollars and seventy five cents and just
to be technically correct let's go ahead and put
dollar sign here
thirty-two cents
would be
zero there's no dollars
and thirty two cents and once again let's go ahead and put that
symbol there
five cents
zero point
zero
five
and finally one hundred dollars and seven cents would be one hundred dollars
and point
zero
seven so one hundred points zero seven would be the decimal
for one hundred dollars and seven cents
