What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 1.15 to 100.
Every problem in it will take two steps.
A careful solution takes 3 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: only the first item was taken off the 20 dollars.
Answers are an amount with two decimal places.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 240 different ones, 100% — so a sheet of 20 is a new sheet almost every time.
