After selling some old books and toys, gwen and her brother max had 5 one-dollar bills, 6 quarters, and 8 dimes.

part a:
what is the total amount of money earned?

part b:
max and gwen decide to divide the money equally. max said that he and gwen cannot get even amounts of money because 5 one-dollar bills cannot be divided evenly. do you agree with max? explain.

Part A: $7.30

Part B: No, because 7.30 can be split evenly. You can just give Max 3-one dollar bills, 2 quarters and 1 dime

Part A-
total amount of money:
5 one dollar bills + 6 qurters (25cents) + 8 dimes (10cents)
Simplify 
5 one dollar bills + 6 * 25 cents which would be 150 cents and finally 8 dimes
8* 10 = 80cents

Thus we have 5 dollars and 150 cents + 80 cents
Thus
5 dollars + 230 cents
since each dollar is made of 100 cents
we would end up having 
7 dollars and 30 cents

Part B-
5 dollars bill can be divided evenly 
but the resulting would indicate cents
Thus 
5/2 = 2.5 which means two and a half dollars for each
