Question

Write as an algebraic expression and then simplify if possible The value in cents of d dimes

Answer 1

10d cents.

Explanation:

This is an everyday mathematics question, in which the value of the currency has to be known. It is a fact that:

1 dime = 10 cents and 1 cent = 1/10 dimes

These relationships can be used to determine the value of the dimes in terms of cents and the value of the cents in terms of dimes respectively. In the question, it is given that there are d dimes. Therefore, using the first formula, it can be inferred that:

d dimes = 10*d cents.

So, the value of d dimes in cents is 10d cents!!!
