Helping Hershey

Hello 304! Hershey's money skills are hopeless! You see, he wants to buy his new sister, Adelyn, a nice gift for Christmas. So he jumped up on Mr. D's counter and dropped his piggy bank on the floor. When it broke open, Hershey was able to collect the following money amounts:

 

 
 Hershey wants to buy Adelyn the book, What Dogs Want for Christmas.  It costs $3.50 cents.  Hershey thinks he has $3.62, so he will sneak to the store and buy the book. 

Is Hershey correct?  Why or why not?  Please explain and show your work.

Hershey dosn't have enugh mony cuase he only has $3.42. I know that because, three one doller bills add up to three dollers. Then, 25+ 5=30,30+10=40,40+2=42. So, that's how hershey dosn't have enuogh mony.
