Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re looking at the underlined digit in each dollar amount and figuring out its
place value — meaning, is it in the tens place? ones? tenths (dimes)? hundredths (cents)? Then we write the answer with a $ sign or “cent” as instructed.
Remember:
- The number to the left of the decimal point is dollars.
- Rightmost digit before decimal = ones place → that’s whole dollars
- Next to the left = tens place → that’s ten-dollar bills
- The numbers after the decimal are cents.
- First digit after decimal = tenths → dimes (10 cents)
- Second digit after decimal = hundredths → cents (1 cent)
We’ll write the value of the underlined digit using $ for dollar amounts and “cent” for cents.

Let’s solve each:
1) $27.65 → underline is on 7 → that’s in the
ones place → so it’s
$7
2) $365.24 → underline is on 6 → that’s in the
tens place → so it’s
$60
3) $15.25 → underline is on 5 → that’s in the
ones place → so it’s
$5
4) $254.05 → underline is on 4 → that’s in the
ones place → so it’s
$4
5) $25.36 → underline is on 3 → that’s in the
tenths place → which is dimes → 3 dimes =
30 cents
6) $78.36 → underline is on 3 → again, tenths →
30 cents
7) $457.65 → underline is on 5 → that’s in the
tens place →
$50
8) $36.27 → underline is on 6 → that’s in the
ones place →
$6
9) $2.36 → underline is on 3 → tenths →
30 cents
10) $45.37 → underline is on 3 → tenths →
30 cents
11) $714.05 → underline is on 1 → that’s in the
tens place →
$10
12) $24.36 → underline is on 4 → ones →
$4
Now the second column:
13) $258.68 → underline is on 8 → ones →
$8
14) $472.36 → underline is on 2 → ones →
$2
15) $25.47 → underline is on 4 → tenths →
40 cents
16) $368.69 → underline is on 6 → ones →
$6
17) $125.07 → underline is on 5 → ones →
$5
18) $24.49 → underline is on 4 → tenths →
40 cents
19) $36.78 → underline is on 6 → ones →
$6
20) $127.36 → underline is on 2 → tens →
$20
21) $25.69 → underline is on 6 → tenths →
60 cents
22) $41.89 → underline is on 1 → ones →
$1
23) $332.69 → underline is on 2 → ones →
$2
24) $47.25 → underline is on 7 → ones →
$7
Wait — let me double-check #20: $127.36 → underline is on 2 → yes, that’s the tens place (since 1 is hundreds, 2 is tens, 7 is ones). So 2 tens = $20 ✔️
Also check #15: $25.47 → underline on 4 → first digit after decimal → tenths → 4 × 10 cents = 40 cents ✔️
All others look correct.
