Answer: A dollar is 100 cents, so you would add the 5 dimes and 12 quarters together. A dime is 10 cents so 10x5 is 50, so you would have 50 cents in dimes. A quarter is 25 cents, so you would multiply 12x25 and you would get 300 and you add those both together to get 350 cents. A dollar is 100 cents so you would have 3 dollars and the remaining 50 cents would stay 50 cents! <33
