Multiply the fraction top and bottom by 25 so the denominator is 100 (how many cents are in a dollar):

\(\frac{75}{100}\)


Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, so the stamp costs:

\(\frac{44}{100}\)


To convert both of these fractions into decimals, write the top number and move the decimal place one space to the left for each zero in the bottom number (100 = 2 zeros, move decimal two places).


Elise had 0.75 cents and spent 0.44 cents on the stamp. She now has 0.33 cents left.

  • She has $0.75 before paying for the stamp.
  • She pays $0.44 to buy a stamp.
  • She has $0.31 or 31 cents after paying for the stamp.

Further explanation

Given:

  • Elise has ³/₄ of a dollar.
  • She buys a stamp that costs 44 cents.

Question:

  • Change both numbers into decimals.
  • Tell how much money Elise has after paying for the stamp.

The Process:

Step-1: Prepare \(\frac{3}{4}\) to be decimal

Both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by 25.

\(\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{25}{25} \ }\)

\(\boxed{ \ = \frac{75}{100} \ }\)

\(\boxed{\boxed{ \ 0.75 \ }}\)

Step-2: Find out about Elise's money at first

\(\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times \$ 1 \ }\)

\(\boxed{ \ = 0.75 \times \$ 1 \ }\)

Thus before she buys a stamp, she has \(\boxed{\boxed{ \ \$ 0.75 \ }}\)

Step-3: Elise buys a stamp that costs 44 cents

Let us convert 44 cents into dollars.

Recall that \(\boxed{ \ \$ 1 = 100 \ cents \ }\)

\(\boxed{ \ = 44 \ cents \times \frac{\$ 1}{100 \ cents} \ }\)

We crossed out the cent unit.

\(\boxed{ \ = \$ \frac{44}{100} \ }\)

Thus she buys a stamp that costs \(\boxed{\boxed{ \ \$ 0.44 \ }}\)

Step-4: How much money Elise has after paying for the stamp

To obtain Elise's remaining money, the initial amount of money subtracted by the cost of a stamp.

\(\boxed{ \ = \$ 0.75 - \$ 0.44 \ }\)

Thus Elise's money left after paying the stamp is \(\boxed{\boxed{ \ \$ 0.31 \ }}\)
