Hey there, you did not finish the question.

Margo has 3 dimes. Justin has 5 dimes. *they put their money into a donation box for a local pet shelter what is the value of the money they added to the donation box

Explanation:

1 dime=10 cents

3 dimes x 5 dimes =80 cents

Your answer is $0.80

This is how algebra works, instead of saying 3 dimes x 5 dimes, you just replace it with a letter.

Answer 2

If Margo has 3 dimes it equals, .30. Which in other words is Thirty-Cents.
If Justin has 5 dimes it equals, .50. Which in other words is Fifty-Cents.

.30 + .50 = .80
