Fractions and Money
You go to the store and get back 55 cents after buying a piece of candy. Did you know that your change, 55 cents, is a decimal? Because you are getting back part of a whole (dollar), you can show your change as a decimal: $0.55!
To write money as decimals, you must know decimal place value (refer back to the "Reading Decimals" page). Watch the video below to learn more about decimals and money! Notice that after the decimal point, we always include TWO places (tenths and hundredths) when writing money amounts.
