An unknowledgeable cashier may refuse to take a ripped dollar bill, but if you have at least 51% of the bill, you can take it to a bank and exchange it. However, if you have less than 51% of the bill, it is worthless.

A torn US bill (banknote) can be exchanged for a complete bill at most banks, so long as

(a) at least 2/3 of the bill is intact and

(b) at least one of the two serial numbers is completely visible

Those rules are to prevent scammers from tearing bills in half and exchanging each piece for the bill's full value.

Yes, a damaged bill is still legal tender.

If you like you can take it to a bank and exchange it for a new bill.

If part of the bill is lost, at least 2/3 of it must be intact. That's to prevent someone from tearing a bill into, say, 3 pieces, and trying to redeem each one for the bill's full value.
