Question

what is the algebraic expression for this; the value in cents of an unknown number of dimes

Answer 1

Answer:

$X dimes= 10 * X cents$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose that We have X number of dimes

Now from Monetary rules we know that

1 dime = 10 cents  ............(i)

Now if we will have

2 dime = 20 cents

2 dime = 2 * 10 cents  .....(ii)

from (i) and (ii) we see that if we have X dimes then

$X dimes= 10 * X cents$
