Detailed Explanation
Convert the change to dollars or fractions of dollars and add:
14 dollars = 14.00
16 half dollars = 8.00
12 quarters = 3.00
8 dimes = 0.80
25 nickels = 1.25
10 pennies = 0.10
----------
Sum = 27.15
Subtract the total from 30.00 to determine how much money Junior has to borrow: 30.00 – 27.15 = 2.85.
14 dollars = 14.00
16 half dollars = 8.00
12 quarters = 3.00
8 dimes = 0.80
25 nickels = 1.25
10 pennies = 0.10
----------
Sum = 27.15
