Am I just too practical for math?

My actual, current math problem:

Today, 5 friends went out for lunch.  Their total bill was $24.55, including tax and gratuity.  They decided to split the bill equally and each paid with a $10 bill.  How much money will each person get back?


It's so distracting.  Honestly, who can do this kind of math?  I'm hung up on trying to figure out where in the world five people can eat on $24.55.  That bit of lunacy needs to be cleared up right now before I can go any further.
