Counting Money — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 3 quarters = 75 cents.
Each quarter is 25 cents, so 25 + 25 + 25 gives a total of 75 cents.
2. 2 dimes + 1 nickel = 25 cents.
Two dimes make 20 cents and one nickel adds 5 more for a total of 25 cents.
3. 4 nickels = 20 cents.
Each nickel is 5 cents, so 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 equals 20 cents.
4. 1 quarter + 2 dimes = 45 cents.
A quarter plus two dimes is 25 + 10 + 10, which totals 45 cents.
5. 5 pennies + 2 nickels = 15 cents.
Five pennies equal 5 cents, and two nickels add 10 cents, giving a total of 15 cents.
6. 3 dimes + 1 quarter = 55 cents.
Three dimes make 30 cents, and adding a 25-cent quarter gives 55 cents total.
7. 2 quarters + 1 dime = 60 cents.
Two quarters equal 50 cents, and one dime adds 10 more for 60 cents.
8. 1 quarter + 1 dime + 1 nickel = 40 cents.
25 plus 10 is 35, and 35 plus 5 equals 40 cents altogether.
9. 4 quarters = 100 cents.
Each quarter is 25 cents, so 25 times 4 equals 100 cents or one dollar.
