How much money is in each pile of dimes? ** 10 * 6 * $.10 = $<<10*6*.10=6.00>>6.00 worth of dimes,
How much money is in each pile of nickels? ** 10 * 9 * $.05 = $<<10*9*.05=4.50>>4.50 worth of nickels, and
How much money is in each pile of pennies? ** 10 * 5 * $.01 = $<<10*5*.01=0.50>>0.50 worth of pennies.
How much money does Rocco have? ** Altogether he has $10.00 + $6.00 + $4.50 + $0.50 = $<<10+6+4.5+0.5=21.00>>21.00
