1. The problem is to find the total value of the given amounts of money: 3 dollars and 95 cents, 3 dollars and 85 cents, 3 dollars and 75 cents, and 3 dollars and 40 cents. 2. To add money amounts, convert all values to a consistent unit, such as cents, then add, and convert back to dollars and cents if needed. 3. Convert each amount to cents: - 3 dollars and 95 cents = $3 \times 100 + 95 = 300 + 95 = 395$ cents - 3 dollars and 85 cents = $3 \times 100 + 85 = 300 + 85 = 385$ cents - 3 dollars and 75 cents = $3 \times 100 + 75 = 300 + 75 = 375$ cents - 3 dollars and 40 cents = $3 \times 100 + 40 = 300 + 40 = 340$ cents 4. Add all the cents: $$395 + 385 + 375 + 340 = 1495$$ cents 5. Convert total cents back to dollars and cents: $$1495 \div 100 = 14 \text{ dollars and } 95 \text{ cents}$$ 6. Therefore, the total value is **14 dollars and 95 cents**.
