1 answer

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:

  1. First, add the dollars and quarters: \[ 2.00 + 0.75 = 2.75 \]

  2. 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 \( \text{$2.80} \).
