## 🔢 PROBLEM 1:
Left side:
- 1 quarter (25¢)
- 1 dime (10¢)
- 1 nickel (5¢)
- 1 penny (1¢)
→ Total = 25 + 10 + 5 + 1 =
41 cents
Right side:
- 1 quarter (25¢)
- 2 dimes (10¢ each → 20¢)
- 1 nickel (5¢)
→ Total = 25 + 20 + 5 =
50 cents
✔ Comparison:
41 < 50

## 🔢 PROBLEM 2:
Left side:
- 1 dime (10¢)
- 2 nickels (5¢ each → 10¢)

→ Total = 10 + 10 + 1 =
21 cents
Right side:
- 1 quarter (25¢)
- 1 nickel (5¢)
