Erica has 4 dimes,
That's 4 10-cent pieces.  Can you multiply 4 times 10 to see how many 
cents that is?
3 nickels,
That's 3 5-cent pieces.  Can you multiply 3 times 5 to see how many 
cents that is?
and 4 pennies.
That's 4 1-cent pieces.  Can you multiply 4 times 1 to see how many 
cents that is?
How much money does she have?
If you were able to do the above difficult tasks, can you also do the
extremely difficult task of adding those together?

I actually believe you can do all those difficult calculations all by
yourself, if you try hard enough.

Similar question: A person has 6 dimes, 5 nickels and 4 pennies. How much money do they have?

Solution:
6 dimes = 6*10 = 60 cents
5 nickels = 5*5 = 25 cents
4 pennies = 4*1 = 4 cents
total = 60+25+4 = 89 cents = $0.89

Keep in mind that this isn't the answer to your particular question, since I changed the numbers around, but the process/outline is the same.

One of our tutors answered such questions this way:

        - If you can not solve it mentally on your own,  you should not go out.


And that's fair.

Probably, true destination of this problem is to train an artificial intelligence by feeding its memory.
