That's 4 1-cent pieces.  Can you multiply 4 times 1 to see how many 
cents that is?</pre>How much money does she have?<pre>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.
