17 x $2.00 = $34.00

23 x $.50 = $11.50

$34.00 + $11.50 = $45.50 (answer)

This is a multiplication problem. A nickel roll is $2 so you multiply that by 17. A penny roll is $.50 and multiply that by 23. Then add your two answers up and that is your total value.

A roll of nickels is worth 2 dollars.
You have 17 of them.
You can multiply 17 by 2 to get the total value of the nickels. This is the same as adding 2 dollars seventeen times (that is what a multiplication is).

A roll of pennies is 0.5 dollar. You have 23 of them. You multiply 23 by 0.5 to find the total value of pennies (or you add 0.5 twenty-three times).

For the grand total, you add the total value of the nickels to the total value of the pennies.

---

Mathematically:

Total = 17*2 + 23*0.5
rule: unless otherwise indicated by brackets, you always do multiplications (*) before doing additions (+).

17 rolls of nickels at $2 each = 34$
23 rolls of pennies at $0.50 each = $11.50

Add to two together.

Multiply the number of rolls with the cost for each type.

17 * $2 + 23 * $0.50
= $34 + $11.50
= $45.50

You just have to multiply the rolls by the amount that each roll holds.
17x2.00= 34.00

23x0.50= 11.50

Hope this helps.
