Question 949046: Over the years Olivia has collected 17,698 pennies in a jar. In dollars and cents, how much money has she collected?
This seems to be easy, yet difficult. I know there is 100 pennies in a dollar, but there is something missing. My last problem didn't come out accurate either. Please assist for there were no example word problems to compare to. As of now I have $176.98. I arrived with this by dividing 17,698 by 100
