Hey there!

Guide:

• Penny = 0.01¢ (1 cent)
• Nickel = 0.05¢ (5 cents)
• Dime = 0.10¢ (10 cents)
• Quarter = 0.25¢ (25 cents)
• Half dollar = 0.50¢ (50 cents)

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
EQUATION #1.

$10.00 + $5.00

= $15.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

0.25¢ + 0.25¢ + 0.25¢ + 0.05¢ + 0.05¢

= 0.75¢ + 0.10¢

= 0.85¢

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
$15.00 + 0.85¢

= $15.85
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Total/Answer: $15.85

______________________________
EQUATION #2.

$5.00 + 0.00

= $5.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

0.25¢ + 0.25¢ + 0.01¢ + 0.01¢ + 0.01¢ + 0.01¢

= 0.50¢ + 0.04¢

= 0.54¢

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

$5.00 + 0.54¢

= $5.54

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Total/Answer: $5.54

______________________________
NOW ADD THEM TOGETHER!

$15.85 + $5.54

= $21.39

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
