Imagine taking a handful of coins from your pocket or purse and placing them on your desk. How would you determine the value of that pile of coins?
If you can form a step-by-step plan for finding the total value of the coins, it will help you as you begin solving coin word problems.
One way to bring some order to the mess of coins would be to separate the coins into stacks according to their value. Quarters would go with quarters, dimes with dimes, nickels with nickels, and so on. To get the total value of all the coins, you would add the total value of each pile.

To determine the total value of a stack of nickels, multiply the number of nickels times the value of one nickel.
How would you determine the value of each pile? Think about the dime pile—how much is it worth? If you count the number of dimes, you’ll know how many you have—the number of dimes.
But this does not tell you the value of all the dimes. Say you counted 1717 dimes; how much are they worth? Each dime is worth $0.10$0.10 —that is the value of one dime. To find the total value of the pile of 1717 dimes, multiply 1717 by $0.10$0.10 to get $1.70$1.70. This is the total value of all 1717 dimes.
17⋅$0.10=$1.70number⋅value=total value17⋅$0.10=$1.70number⋅value=total value
FINDING THE TOTAL VALUE FOR COINS OF THE SAME TYPE
For coins of the same type, the total value can be found as follows:
number⋅value=total valuenumber⋅value=total value
where number is the number of coins, value is the value of each coin, and total value is the total value of all the coins.
You could continue this process for each type of coin, and then you would know the total value of each type of coin. To get the total value of all the coins, add the total value of each type of coin.
Let’s look at a specific case. Suppose there are 1414 quarters, 1717 dimes, 2121 nickels, and 3939 pennies. We’ll make a table to organize the information – the type of coin, the number of each, and the value
