Yanir has 2500 pennies, which is equivalent to $25.

Yanir has a total of 50 dollars, and to represent this amount in pennies, we can use a grid where each cell represents one penny. Since there are 100 pennies in a dollar, the grid consists of 50 rows and 100 columns, resulting in a total of 5000 pennies. Now, to determine 0.5 of $50, we calculate half of the total number of pennies: 0.5 * 5000 = 2500 pennies. Therefore, Yanir has 2500 pennies, equivalent to $25.

In this grid representation, each row corresponds to one dollar, and each column represents one penny. This visualization helps us understand the conversion from dollars to pennies, demonstrating that half of $50 is indeed 2500 pennies.
