Sam has saved 40 quarters from washing cars. How many cents does Sam have?
A quarter = 25 cents
40 * 25 = ?
40q * 25c/q = 1000cents
To determine how many cents Sam has, we need to multiply the number of quarters by the value of each quarter.
Since there are 4 quarters in a dollar (100 cents), each quarter is worth 25 cents.
To find the total number of cents, we multiply the number of quarters (40) by the value of each quarter (25 cents):
40 quarters * 25 cents/quarter = 1000 cents.
Therefore, Sam has 1000 cents.
