Answer:

$108.59  

Step-by-step explanation:

The dime which is worth 0.10 U.S. dollar, is a ten-cent coin, one-tenth of a United States dollar

the value is 0.1

Now in rounding up of numbers the dime is located one decimal place away i.e 0.5 in the number given in the problem statement

to round up to the nearest dime we have to consider the next number to the dime if this number is greater than 5 we will round up if it is less than five we can not perform any rounding up operation

hence the greatest amount of money is

since the number next to 5 is 9 and 9 is greater than 5 we will round up from 5 to 6

This makes 108.59  the greatest amount of money that rounds to​ $108.60
