Let's solve each problem step by step from the worksheet titled "Decimals":

Problem 1:


Brenda and Jenna saved up $57.75 and $45.25 respectively to buy a gift for Mother’s Day. How much money is left over after they buy the gift?

Wait — this question seems incomplete. It says they saved money, but it doesn’t specify how much the gift costs. Without knowing the price of the gift, we can't determine how much money is left.

But let’s assume there was a typo or missing info. Perhaps the total amount saved is meant to be used to find the total they have?

If the question is asking: How much money do they have together?, then:

$$
\$57.75 + \$45.25 = \$103.00
$$

So, they have $103.00 together.

But if the gift cost is known (e.g., maybe it's implied), we'd subtract that. Since it's not given, we can only say:

Total saved = $103.00

👉 Note: The question might be missing the price of the gift. If you have that info, please provide it.

$$

Answer: 21.50 pounds

Problem 4:


Susan placed an order for a drum set priced at $750.00 and an electronic organ for $354.90. How much does Susan have to pay in total once she receives the items?

Add the prices:

$$

Answer: $1,104.90

Problem 5:


Lily Higgs ran a distance of 3.12 miles on Saturday as a part of her morning workout. On Sunday, she ran 4.08 miles. How many miles in all did Lily run over the weekend?

Add the distances:

$$

Answer: 7.20 miles
