HELP!! 4th Grade Currency Math Problem….?
In Germany, there are 100 pfennigs to the mark. If you had 2 marks and 70 pfennigs, and someone gave you 3 10-pfennig coins, how much money would you have????
Please show how you came to the answer… show all problems in detail. Thanks
1 mark = 100 pfennings
If you had 2 marks and 70 pfennings [Substitute marks for pfennings - you would multiple 100 pfennings by 2]
= (2 x 100 pfennings) + 70 pfennings
= 200 pfennings + 70 pfennings
=270 pfennings [This is how many pfennings you had to start out with]
If someone gave you 3 10-pfenning coins [This means that you multiply 10 pfennings by 3]
= 3 x 10 pfennings
= 30 pfennings
If you add the number of pfennings you started with originally with the number pfennings that you got from someone,
270 pfennings + 30 pfennings = 300 pfennings
Remember, since 1 mark = 100 pfennings, you can express this in marks as well by dividing the number of pfennings by 100.
300 pfennings / 100 pfennings = 3 marks
Therefore, you would have either 300 pfennings or 3 marks.
I hope that this helps.
