Question

$5.29 expressed in cents is ______.
52.9¢
0529¢
529¢
5209¢

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 dollar ($\$1$) is equal to 100 cents ($100\mathrm{\text{¢}}$). So to convert dollars to cents, we multiply the amount in dollars by 100.

Step2: Perform the conversion

We have $\$5.29$. To convert this to cents, we calculate $5.29\times100$. When we multiply a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the right. So $5.29\times100 = 529$. So $\$5.29$ is equal to $529\mathrm{\text{¢}}$.

Answer:

C. 529¢ (assuming the options are labeled as A: 52.9¢, B: 0529¢, C: 529¢, D: 5209¢)
