Question:

On a beautiful afternoon, Christopher rode his bicycle to a farm that sold bags of bananas for $8.27 each and bags of coconuts for $6.24 each.

Christopher decided to buy a bag of bananas and a bag of coconuts before heading home.

How much did Christopher need to pay for his produce?

I typed in $14.51 but it said it was wrong; I later found out that the answer was only accepted without the dollar sign (14.51).
