Now we shall count these,
Oh dear friend sitting together,
You are there, I am here!
Let us count soon these coins.
You have asked me
How many quarters do you have?
I have told I have 10
You have asked me
How many dimes do you have?
I have said I have 20 dimes.
You have asked me
How many Nickels do you have?
I have said I have 12 Nickels.
You have asked me
How many pennies do you have?
I have said I have 31 pennies.
Oh dear friend, you help me to count!
10 quarters totals to 10 × 0.25 = $ 2.50
20 dimes totals to 20 × 0.10 = $ 2.00
12 nickles totals to 12 × 0.05= $ 0.60
31 Pennies totals to 31 × 0.01 = $ 0.31
Total $ we have now = $2.50 + $2.00 + $ 0.60 + $ 0.31 = $5.41
Oh dear friends counting the coins
We have got now $ 5.41,
Total amount is counted now.
While we shall travel by bus
From Earth to sun
Crossing mountains, trees, sky and stars,
We shall pay fare for our journey!
