return type in Money class in ruby

when I type

 tax = Money.new(300)

I got the return line. Money fractional:300 currency:USD, But in the video it should be cent instead of fractional.

WHY?

Looks like you could use this method:

Money.us_dollars(cents)

You need to use "puts" in order to print it out in the correct format. 

irb(main):011:0* tax
=> #Money fractional:300 currency:USD>
irb(main):012:0> puts tax
3.00
=> nil


            ```
