Adding and subtracting decimals word problems -- there is one question with Jessica buying bananas and mangoes - but the answer won't let me enter a monetary amount - it was wrong with the dollar sign but correct with the same value without the dollar sign - yet the question asks how much she needed to pay for her produce - please could you make it clear that you are not after a money answer, and all you want is the numbers. Thanks
