Count dimes

A dime is worth 10 cents, so a collection of dimes can be valued by counting equal groups of ten: 1, 2, … dimes correspond to 10, 20, … cents. The understanding includes quantities from one to ten dimes, up to 100 cents or one dollar, and distinguishes the number of coins from their total value; mixed-coin totals, decimal notation, and larger amounts are outside this scope.

Detailed Explanation: Count dimes

A dime is worth 10 cents. To find the value of several dimes, count by tens.

Example: How much are 4 dimes worth?

  1. Count the coins: There are 44 dimes.
  2. Count by tens for each dime: (10,20,30,40)(10, 20, 30, 40).
  3. So, 44 dimes are worth 40 cents\boxed{40\text{ cents}}.

Remember: 44 is the number of coins, and (40)(40) cents is their total value.
