Dear Gisli Tryggvi,

I can make 25 cents.

Two dimes and one nickel = 25 cents
One dime and one nickel and ten pennies = 25 cents.

Your friend,
Erika

Dear second graders,

In 1 króna is 100 aurar we have:

50 = fimmtíu aurar
10 = tíu aurar
5 = fimm aurar

How can you make hundrađ krónur?

You can:

100 = One fimmtíu kall and 3 tíkalla and 3 fimmkalla, and 5 ein króna coins.
100 = Two fimmtíu kalla
100 = Ten tíkalla
100 = Twenty fimmkalla
100 = One hundred krónur (króna = single, krónur = many)
100 = One fimmtíu kall and 5 tíkalla

Bless
Gísli Tryggvi Gíslason
