Gavin has 10 identical us coins in his pocket. the total value of the coins in cents is represented by 10 x. what does the variable x represent?

It can be written as 825/1000. You can simplify this to get the simplest form which would be 33/40. All decimals are out of one, they are a part. When you first get a decimal, put the numbers such as 825 on top. The last number is in the thousandths place, so it is out of 1000. 1000 is your denominator. Your fraction is then 825/1000. From here you can simplify if possible.

Hope this helps ^-^
