Receiving E00027 error for invalid amount

Hello!

I am attempting to test my ecommerce solution against the sandbox, but I'm unclear on the rules for which transaction amounts will be approved or declined. I am receiving and approval or a decline depending on the amount.

The error I get back is:

E00027: The transaction was unsuccessful.
5: A valid amount is required.

I am receiving this error message for the amounts:

79.99
482.83

And I am receiving an approval on the amount:

146.56

The testing guide at https://developer.authorize.net/hello_world/testing_guide/ is listing the following amounts as producing a declined response:

70.02

70.03

And I'm not using those amounts.

The guide also states that "The response from the sandbox varies depending on the card type, ZIP code, and amount." But I'm using a postal code, the Visa number 4111111111111111, and the amounts I listed above.

Can anyone direct me to what I'm missing? Is there documentation that indicates which amounts to use for different responses?
