Calculate the Total Value of a Combination of Coins
This Grade 4 Eureka Math skill teaches students to calculate the total value of a combination of quarters, dimes, and pennies in cents. Students multiply the count of each coin type by its cent value (quarter = 25, dime = 10, penny = 1) and add the products. For example, 3 quarters + 1 dime + 7 pennies = 75 + 10 + 7 = 92 cents. This foundational money skill from Chapter 33 of Eureka Math Grade 4 builds on multiplication and addition within the context of decimal money amounts.
Key Concepts
To find the total value of a group of coins in cents, multiply the quantity of each coin type by its value in cents and then add the results. 1 quarter = 25 cents 1 dime = 10 cents 1 penny = 1 cent.
Total Value in Cents = $(\text{No. of quarters} \times 25) + (\text{No. of dimes} \times 10) + (\text{No. of pennies} \times 1)$.
Common Questions
How do you find the total value of a combination of coins?
Multiply each coin type by its value in cents, then add all products. For example: (quarters times 25) + (dimes times 10) + (pennies times 1).
What is the value of 3 quarters, 1 dime, and 7 pennies?
(3 times 25) + (1 times 10) + (7 times 1) = 75 + 10 + 7 = 92 cents.
What is the value of 2 quarters and 5 pennies?
(2 times 25) + (5 times 1) = 50 + 5 = 55 cents.
How many cents is a quarter worth?
A quarter is worth 25 cents. Four quarters make one dollar (100 cents).
How many cents is a dime worth?
