Question: Tom finds 10 quarters, 3 dimes, and 4 nickels and 200 pennies. In dollars, how much money did he find? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He found 10 * .25 = $2.5 in quarters. He found 3 * .1 = $.3 in dimes. He found 4 * .05 = $.2 in nickels. He found 200 * .01 = $2 in pennies. So in total, he found $2.5 + $0.3 + $0.2 + $2 = $5. So the answer is 5.
