Answer:

Yes Maggie has enough money to purchase the dress and hair accessory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $35.75

Hair accessory = $2.80

Total amount of money = $40

Does her have enough money?

Total Money in pocket - (Dress cost + hair accessory)

 $40.00 - ($35.75 + 2.80)

  $40.00 - ($36.00 + $3.00)     Round to the nearest dollar

  $40.00 - $39.00 = $1.00

Yes
