Dollars equal cents!!!! can you explain this??

Question

1$ = 100c
= (10c)^2
= (0.1$)^2
= 0.01$
= 1c

10c=0.1$ OK

and 0.01$=1c

Answer 1

~Yes I can. You could too, if only you'd try to use a little common cents.

Answer 2

Clever..The trick, of course, is all in the details. If you had continued to write the equation fully, the third line would read "1$ = (.01$)^2", which is incorrect, because you can't convert just the one side of the equation to "dollars" arbitrarily. If you divide the 10c by 100 to get .1$, you must also divide the other side of the equation by 100.

Answer 3

When the equation changes to (0.1$)^2 the 1$ that it had equaled previously would have changed to .01$
The assumption left open that all of the equations repeated underneath the initial equation would also automatically equal 1$ is false.
1$=100c
.01$=1c
Didn't your HS math teacher tell you about ASSUME ing anything?

Answer 4

You changed the sign, and added a decimal
1$=100c
=(10c)^2
from here you put a dollar sign and added a decimal

Answer 5

$1=100 pennies

Answer 6

1 dlr=100c
