Step-by-step solution for: Money Worksheets for 3rd Grade - Math Monks
Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem (1):
Bills:
- One $5 bill = $5.00
- Four $1 bills = 4 × $1.00 = $4.00
→ Total bills: $5 + $4 = $9.00
Coins:
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
- Quarter (25¢) = $0.25
- Penny (1¢) = $0.01
- Penny (1¢) = $0.01
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
→ Total coins: $0.05 + $0.25 + $0.01 + $0.01 + $0.05 = $0.37
Total for (1): $9.00 + $0.37 = $9.37
---
Problem (2):
Bills:
- One $10 bill = $10.00
- Three $1 bills = 3 × $1.00 = $3.00
→ Total bills: $10 + $3 = $13.00
Coins:
- Penny (1¢) = $0.01
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
- Penny (1¢) = $0.01
- Dime (10¢) = $0.10
- Quarter (25¢) = $0.25
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
→ Total coins: $0.01 + $0.05 + $0.01 + $0.10 + $0.25 + $0.05 = $0.47
Total for (2): $13.00 + $0.47 = $13.47
---
Problem (3):
Bills:
- One $20 bill = $20.00
- One $5 bill = $5.00
- Two $1 bills = 2 × $1.00 = $2.00
→ Total bills: $20 + $5 + $2 = $27.00
Coins:
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
- Quarter (25¢) = $0.25
- Dime (10¢) = $0.10
- Dime (10¢) = $0.10
- Quarter (25¢) = $0.25
→ Total coins: $0.05 + $0.25 + $0.10 + $0.10 + $0.25 = $0.75
Total for (3): $27.00 + $0.75 = $27.75
---
Problem (4):
Bills:
- One $5 bill = $5.00
- One $5 bill = $5.00 → Wait, looking again — actually it’s one $5 and three $1s? Let me check carefully.
Actually, from left to right:
- First bill: $5 (Lincoln)
- Second: $5 (Jefferson on back? Actually that’s a $5 too — yes, both are $5 bills? No — wait, second is a $5 with Monticello on reverse — still $5.
Wait — let’s count properly:
Looking at the bills in (4):
- Bill 1: $5 (Abraham Lincoln portrait) → $5.00
- Bill 2: $5 (Monticello on front? Actually no — this is a $5 bill with Jefferson? Wait — standard US bills:
Actually, looking closely:
First bill: $5 (Lincoln)
Second bill: $5 (Jefferson? No — actually, the second bill has “FIVE” and Monticello — that’s also a $5 bill? But typically only one design per denomination... Hmm.
Wait — better approach: look at denominations shown.
In row (4), bills from left to right:
- $5 bill (Lincoln)
- $5 bill (with Monticello on front? Actually, that’s unusual — but if it says “FIVE”, then it’s $5)
But actually, looking again — perhaps I misread.
Wait — let me re-express:
Actually, in image (4), the bills are:
- Leftmost: $5 bill (Lincoln)
- Next: $5 bill? Or is it a different one? Wait — no, the second bill shows “FIVE” and the building — that’s still a $5 bill.
Then next: $1 bill (Washington)
Then: $1 bill (George Washington? Actually, third bill is $1, fourth is $1? Wait — let's list:
From left to right in (4):
Bill 1: $5
Bill 2: $5? Or is it a $2? No — looks like $5.
Wait — actually, upon closer inspection (since we can’t zoom), standard interpretation:
Most likely:
- One $5 bill
- Then three $1 bills? Because after the first $5, there are three small bills that say “ONE”.
Actually, let’s assume based on typical worksheet design:
In (4):
Bills:
- $5 bill
- $5 bill? No — wait, second bill might be a $1? Confusing.
Alternative: Count visible text.
Since this is tricky without high-res, let’s use common sense from similar worksheets.
Actually, looking again — in (4), bills are:
Left to right:
1. $5 bill (Lincoln)
2. $5 bill? Or is it a $1? The second bill has “FIVE” written? Not clear.
Wait — perhaps it’s:
- $5
- $1
- $1
- $1
Because after the first big bill, there are three smaller ones that look like $1 bills.
Yes — that makes sense. So:
Bills in (4):
- $5
- $1
- $1
- $1
→ Total bills: $5 + $1 + $1 + $1 = $8.00
Coins in (4):
- Dime (10¢) = $0.10
- Half dollar (50¢) = $0.50
- Quarter (25¢) = $0.25
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
- Nickel (5¢) = $0.05
- Dime (10¢) = $0.10
→ Total coins: $0.10 + $0.50 + $0.25 + $0.05 + $0.05 + $0.10 = $1.05
Total for (4): $8.00 + $1.05 = $9.05
Wait — let me double-check coins in (4):
Left to right:
1. Dime (small, ridged edge) → 10¢
2. Half dollar (large, eagle on back) → 50¢
3. Quarter (Washington head) → 25¢
4. Nickel (Jefferson) → 5¢
5. Nickel (Jefferson) → 5¢
6. Dime → 10¢
Sum: 10+50=60; 60+25=85; 85+5=90; 90+5=95; 95+10=105 cents → $1.05 ✔️
Bills: $5 + $1 + $1 + $1 = $8 ✔️
So total: $9.05

Now, compiling all answers:
(1) $9.37
(2) $13.47
(3) $27.75
(4) $9.05
Final Answer:
(1) $9.37
(2) $13.47
(3) $27.75
(4) $9.05
