honestly i was a little confused with the way this question was worded so please tell me if i did something wrong or if i didn't explain/understand this right!

answer:

3 dollars or 300 cents

Explanation:

well we know that 4 quarters equal one whole dollar so what i did was divide 12 by 4 to get 3 whole dollars

12/4

= 3 dollars

and we know that 100 pennies equal one whole dollars, all you need to do was multiply 3 dollars by 100 pennies

3 * 100

= 300 pennies

showing you that abby has 300 cents in her piggy bank

hope this help and if you need anymore then just ask me!
