1. Lucas has $2.00 from the two one-dollar bills, $0.30 from the three dimes (since each dime is $0.10), and $0.15 from the three nickels (since each nickel is $0.05). Adding these together: $2.00 + $0.30 + $0.15 = $2.45. Lucas has $2.45.
2. Scarlett starts with $5.60. Her sister gives her 2 quarters. Since each quarter is $0.25, 2 quarters equal $0.50. Adding this to her original amount: $5.60 + $0.50 = $6.10. Scarlett has $6.10.
3. Owen starts with $2.35. He spends 1 dime ($0.10) and 3 nickels ($0.15 total, since 3 × $0.05 = $0.15). The total spent is $0.10 + $0.15 = $0.25. Subtracting this from his original amount: $2.35 - $0.25 = $2.10. Owen has $2.10 left.
