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

The correct answer is 50 because s nickel is worth 5 cent so u can say 2 nickels is 10 cents so you add two nickels in five sets you get 50 or you can do 5 multiplied by 10

Since one nickel equals 5 cents, you'd multiply 10 nickels by 5 cents apiece and yield 50 cents to spend.
