I know this involves adding, but i'm stuck so if you can please explain as specific as possible. Word problem: Donna has $15.40, Michael has $6.23 and Paul has $7.80 more than Donna and Michael together. Find the total amount of money the three have together.

Paul = 15.40 + 6.23 + 7.80 = 29.43
15.40 + 6.23 + 29.43 = 51.06

First solve for Paul:
7.80 + Donna + Michael = Paul
7.80 + 15.40 + 6.23 = 29.43
And now, the total:
Donna + Michael + Paul
15.40 + 6.23 + 29.43 = 51.06!
and that is your answer!

The three of them together have $51.06.
Donna & Michael have $21.63 combined (15.40 + 6.23).
Paul has 29.43 (21.63 + 7.80).
Thus, all three combined have 15.40 + 6.23 + 29.43 = $51.06

add Donna and Micheal and Paul's money 15.40+ 6.23+ 7.80= 29.43
then add Donna's and Micheal's money to 29.43+ 15.60 + 6.23 = 51.06

The problem tells you the amount that Donna and Michael have, so add those up and add Paul's extra to find out how much Paul has, and then add those 3 numbers to get their total.
