To find out how much money Kate has, we can add up the value of each type of currency she has:
- The 2 dollars: \( 2.00 \)
- The 3 quarters: Each quarter is worth \( 0.25 \), so \( 3 \times 0.25 = 0.75 \)
- The 1 nickel: A nickel is worth \( 0.05 \)
Now, we add these amounts together:
\[ 2.00 + 0.75 + 0.05 \]
Calculating this step by step:
-
First, add the dollars and quarters: \[ 2.00 + 0.75 = 2.75 \]
-
Then, add the nickel: \[ 2.75 + 0.05 = 2.80 \]
Therefore, the total amount of money Kate has is \( \text{$2.80} \).
The answer is \( \text{$2.80} \).
