Money Counting: Mixed Coins and Bills

Practice adding dollars and cents with coins and bills

Math - Grade 2-3

Instructions: Read each problem carefully. Count the bills first, then count the coins. Write each answer using a dollar sign and a decimal point when needed.

    Mia has 1 one-dollar bill, 2 quarters, 1 dime, and 3 pennies. How much money does Mia have?

    Count the dollar bill first, then add the coins.

    Mia has $1.63 because $1.00 + $0.50 + $0.10 + $0.03 = $1.63.
  2. 2

    Eli has 2 one-dollar bills, 3 dimes, and 4 nickels. How much money does Eli have?

    Eli has $2.50 because $2.00 + $0.30 + $0.20 = $2.50.

    A toy car costs $3.75. Circle the set of money that is exactly $3.75: Set A is 3 one-dollar bills and 3 quarters. Set B is 3 one-dollar bills, 2 quarters, and 2 dimes. Set C is 4 one-dollar bills and 1 quarter.

    Add the bills first, then check the coins in each set.
