    Add them up








    If you put them in columns (using zeroes to pad the left and the right)
    000.41
    021.40
    006.30
    280.00

    1. Add the far right column: 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 Nothing to carry.
    2. Add the next column to the left: 4 + 4 + 3 = 11. Keep the 1, carry the 1 to the left.
    3. Add the first column to the left of the decimal point. Start with the 1 you carried: 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 8. Nothing to carry.
    4. Add the next column to the left: 2 + 8 = 10. Keep the 0, carry the 1.
    5. Start with the "carried" 1, add the leftmost column: 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 = 3

    The final answer, 308.11

    I'm not sure if this answers your question or not.
