Adding Coins: Learn

A penny is worth 1 cent, a dime is worth 10 cents and a dollar is worth 100 cents.

How to add Dollars, Dimes, and Pennies:

  • Count by hundreds the number of dollars to find the number of cents the dollars are worth
  • Then, count up by tens for the number of dimes.
  • Add the number of pennies last.

Example:

How many cents are 7 dollars, 4 dimes and 3 pennies worth?
  • Count by hundreds seven times for the seven dollars 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700
  • Count by tens for the 4 dimes: 710, 720, 730, 740
  • Count by ones for the 3 pennies: 741, 742, 743
  • Answer: 7 dollars, 4 dimes and 3 pennies are worth 743 cents
  • 743 cents is the same as $7.43 since there are 100 cents per dollar
