Here is a penny. It equals 1 cent.

When counting pennies, we call them numbers in order from 1 to 10.

It is a dime. It equals 10 cents.

We count dimes by 10s.: 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.

Let’s count these coins.

First, we will count pennies and then dimes.

There are 11 pennies and 3 dimes here. Let’s convert them to cents. One penny equals 1 cent. There are 11 cents in 11 pennies.

Now, let’s convert dimes to cents. There are 10 cents in 1 dime, thus 3 dimes equal 30 cents.

Let’s add the numbers 11 and 30:

11¢ + 30¢ = 41¢
