Let's solve each row of the worksheet step by step. We'll identify the coins, calculate their total value in
cents, and then convert that to
dollars (using decimals).
---
Coin Values:
-
Penny = 1 cent
-
Nickel = 5 cents
-
Dime = 10 cents
-
Quarter = 25 cents
-
Half Dollar = 50 cents
-
Dollar Coin = 100 cents ($1.00)
We’ll go row by row.

Row 1 (Example):
Coins: 2 dimes (10¢), 3 pennies (1¢)
→ 10 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 =

Row 2:
Coins:
- 3 nickels (5¢ each) → 3 × 5 = 15¢
- 1 dime (10¢)
- 2 pennies (1¢ each) → 2 × 1 = 2¢
Total in cents:
15 + 10 + 2 =
27 cents
In dollars:
$0.27
---
Row 3:
Coins:
- 2 nickels (5¢ each) → 2 × 5 = 10¢
- 6 pennies (1¢ each) → 6 × 1 = 6¢
Total in cents:
10 + 6 =
16 cents
In dollars:
$0.16
---
Row 4:
Coins:
- 3 quarters (25¢ each) → 3 × 25 = 75¢
- 1 dime (10¢)
- 2 pennies (1¢ each) → 2 × 1 = 2¢
Total in cents:
75 + 10 + 2 =
87 cents
In dollars:
$0.87
---
Row 5:
Coins:
- 1 dollar coin → 100¢
- 1 quarter → 25¢
- 3 pennies → 3 × 1 = 3¢
Total in cents:
100 + 25 + 3 =
128 cents
In dollars:
$1.28
