Because 3 doesn't divide exactly into $700, we have to look for the nearest number that it does divide into, so that means $699 or $701. 3 does divide into 699 233 times, so the answer is $233. That leaves a dollar over. 3 doesn't divide exactly into 100 cents but it does divide into 99 33 times. So $700 divided by 3 is $233 and 33 cents, which is written $233.33 and 1 cent over which can't be split, so put it in your pocket without anybody watching! But we want two thirds, which is what's left after taking a third away from the whole, so we need to subtract 233.33 (a third) from 700 (the whole) leaving $466.67.
