How many dimes do you need to get to 1.75?

To find out how many dimes are needed to reach $1.75, first convert $1.75 to cents, which is 175 cents. Since each dime is worth 10 cents, you would divide 175 by 10. This means you need 17.5 dimes, but since you can't have half a dime, you would need 18 dimes to exceed $1.75, totaling $1.80.
