👉 Cents are a decimal system used to measure money, where 100 cents make up a dollar. In math, this means that when dealing with cents, each cent represents one-tenth of a dollar, or 0.10 in decimal form. For example, if you have $5.75, it's equivalent to 5 dollars plus 7 cents (since 5 x 0.10 = 0.50, and 0.50 + 0.07 = 0.57). This system allows for precise calculations involving small amounts of money, making it essential in everyday transactions and financial computations.
