In situations such as this one, why not look up the technical vocabulary, so that you can be sure of its meaning? I did that and found that my recollection of "inconsistent equations" was correct.
TRUE.
ok so 10 pennis is 1 dime which is 10 cents ok lets go to the next number 20 pennis will be 2 dimes because its the same cents then 30 pennis will be 3 and 40 will be 4 so just divide 10 into the number of pennis or in this case you have a easy out you can just use the numbers infront of the zero since you are talking about dimes.
It would even be the same if you had 2,300 pennis you would have 230 dimes
Identity property of multiplication
1. First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.
2. Then consider the rate of discount.
3. To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.
4. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.
