• A. $13$ dollars $10$ cents
• B. $13$ dollars $15$ cents
• C. $13$ dollars $26$ cents
• D. $10$ dollars $20$ cents

Answer 1

The correct option is B $13$ dollars $15$ cents

Detailed step by step solution:
We have a $10$ dollar bill, a $2$ dollar bill, and a $1$ dollar bill.
Total money from dollar bills $=10+2+1=13$ dollars
Then, we have a dime and a nickel.
Dime $=10$ cents, Nickel $=5$ cents
Total money from coins $=10+5=15$ cents
Total money Boots has in his piggy bank $=13$ dollars and $15$ cents.
