Fractions, Decimals, and Money 
are closely related.

Let's see how.

Three different ways...

1}

34¢ = $0.34 as money
and
$0.34 is like the decimal 0.34
(or "thirty-four hundredths")
and
can be written as the fraction
34/100

 

2}

57/100 as a fraction
is like
0.57 as a decimal 
("fifty-seven hundredths")
and converts to
$0.57 or 57¢ as money

 

3}

0.84 as a decimal
("eighty-four hundredths")
is like
84/100 as a fraction
and converts to
$.84 or 84¢ as money
