Connecting to Previous Learning This lesson will use the American money system that is based on the dollar.

Connecting to Previous Learning One American dollar is made up of 100 cents. It is written as $1.00. $0.01 is one cent, or one penny.

Connecting to Previous Learning The other commonly used coins are: nickel = $0.05 dime = $0.10 quarter = $0.25

Connecting to Previous Learning Did you notice that the values of the coins are written as decimals? When you see a dollar amount written, it will only go to the hundredths place. This is because the smallest dollar amount is one cent, or $0.01, which is 1/100 of a dollar. Remember that it takes 100 cents to equal 1 dollar.

Connecting to Previous Learning Solving math problems with dollar amounts is just like solving any math problem with decimals.
