If there are any numbers which are integers and so do not have a decimal point, then append one at the extreme right. Then arrange all the numbers in a column, with their decimal points aligned. Ad up the numbers ignoring the decimal points entirely. In the answer insert a decimal point under the column of decimal points.

When adding decimal numbers, the decimal points should be lined-up.
Line up the decimal points in a vertical column. Then add the numbers while ignoring the decimal point. Finally, put a decimal point in the answer in the same column as for the summands.
Decimal addition is adding numbers that are represented in decimal form.
Adding decimal same as adding whole numbers
This is true for adding and subtracting ALL numbers, not just decimal representations.
The answer to 6.14 plus 8.91 is 15.05. This is the result of adding the two numbers together, following the rules of addition for decimal numbers. When adding decimal numbers, align the decimal points and add the numbers as if they were whole numbers, then place the decimal point in the same position in the answer.
When adding decimal numbers, the decimal points should be lined-up.
Line up the decimal points in a vertical column. Then add the numbers while ignoring the decimal point. Finally, put a decimal point in the answer in the same column as for the summands.
When multiplying or dividing numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures. When adding or subtracting numbers, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places.

Adding decimal same as adding whole numbers
It can be same because it,s just the decimal
When adding numbers, the result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places. This ensures that the final answer is accurate and reflects the precision of the original numbers.
When adding numbers, the result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places. This ensures that the final answer has the appropriate number of significant figures.
When adding numbers with different significant figures, round the final answer to match the least number of decimal places in the original numbers.
This is true for adding and subtracting ALL numbers, not just decimal representations.
This is effectively the same as lining up the decimal points when adding or subtracting ordinary decimal fractions.
