Coin math counting stacks of coins
Test your understanding of coin math counting stacks of coins by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
What is the total value of these piles of coins?
🎙️
The first stack is 2 nickels, each worth 5 cents, so we have 5 plus 5, or 10 cents in that stack
🎙️
The second stack is 3 dimes, each worth 10 cents, so we have 10 plus 10 plus 10, or 30 cents in that stack
🎙️
The total is our 10 cents of nickels plus our 30 cents of dimes, or a total of 40 cents
