What is the total value of these 3 coins?

Dimes are worth 10 cents, nickels are worth 5 cents, and quarters are worth 25 cents, so our total is 10 plus 5 plus 25

Let's start by adding 25 and 5. We get 30

Now let's add 10 more, we get 40 cents as our total

This math skill teaches how to calculate the total value of a combination of different coins by identifying the value of each type of coin and then adding these values together.
