$$$5.00-$2.25=$2.75$$ So you would be able to buy another sandwich so you would have brought two sandwiches and you would have 50 cents left.

$5.00 - $2.25 = $2.75. You buy another one, $2.25 - $2.75 = $0.50. You bought 2 sandwiches, and have 50 cents left.

The formula in my head is (Total Money Currently) - (Cost Of Item) = (Left Over) 
Then you repeat the same steps.
