We know 1 dime = 10 pennies or 10 cents

We need to find what number of dimes is equal to 290 pennies

Let the number of dimes be x

10 times Number of dimes = 290

10 * x = 290

Divide by 10 on both sides


(10x)/(10) = (290)/(10)

x = 29

The number of dimes = 29

29 dimes are equal to 290 pennies because 29 * 10 = 290 pennies
