Opening your practice adventure…
Try a sample
You have 1 dime, 2 nickels and 2 pennies. How many cents is that?
- 42
- 22
- 17
- 32
See the answer & why
22
1 × 10 + 2 × 5 + 2 × 1 = 22 cents.
A little hint: In US money, a dime is 10 cents, a nickel 5 cents and a penny 1 cent.
A teaching tip
Count higher-value coins first; say the value, not just the coin count.
