i have a jar of coins and i think it is not the right number of coins. can you help me count the coins?
user
sure, i can help you count the coins. first, empty the coins out of the jar onto a flat surface and then separate them into piles by denomination. count up the number of coins in each pile, then add the totals together to get the total number of coins in the jar.
