A veterans group gave out 1000 small american flags at the 4th of july parade.They paid $355 for the flags.What was the cost of each flag?
You need to divide $355 by 1000. Notice that the price for each flag is less than $1.00.

1000 divided by $355
What place value is money rounded to?
Sorry--Should be 355 divided by 1000. As soon as I pushed "send" I realized I wrote it backwards...
Still...think about place value...
To find the cost of each flag, you need to divide the total amount paid ($355) by the number of flags (1000).
355/1000 = $0.355
Therefore, the cost of each flag is $0.355, which can also be written as 35.5 cents.
