Question

Ginger take 10 nickels to buy some pencils at the school store. How many cents does Ginger have to spend?

Answer 1

Since 10 times 10 is 100 she has $1.

Answer 2

Since a nickel would be worth 5 cents and Ginger has 10 of them, what you you would do to solve this is multiply 10 x 5. 10 x 5 = 50.
Ginger has a total of 50 cents to spend.
Hope this helps!
