## Solved Problems

1) Convert 45.90 dollars into cents?

Given that

45.90 dollars

We know that 1 dollar = 100 cents

45 dollars = 4500 cents

.90 dollars = 90 cents

45.90 = 4500 + 90 = 4590

45.90 dollars is 4590 cents

2) How many pennies is their in 2nickel?

Given:Pennies to nickel

No of nickel are 2

So 2x5=10

3) How many cents are 6 dollars, 5 dimes and 2 pennies worth?

Given: Dollars =6

Dimes= 5

Pennies =2

Count by 100 times for 6 dollars 100,200,300,400,500,600

Count by tens for the 5 dimes: 610, 620, 630, 640,650

Count by ones for the 2 pennies: 651, 652

6 dollars, 5dimes and 3 pennies are worth 652¢

652¢ is the same as \$6.52 since there are 100 cents per dollar.
