Question

Cole learned that newly-mintedcoins are put into bags. Themint puts 2,000 half-dollarcoins into 1 bag. What is thevalue of 11 bags?

Answer 1

First we must know the value of a bag, then we multiply the number of coins by the value of each one

so

`2000*0.50=1000`

a bag has the value of 1000 dollars

To find the value of 11 bags we multiply the number of bags by the money in each one

`11*1000=11000`

The value of 11 bags is 11,000 dollars
