Reduce 2745 dollars into cents. Ans. 274500 Here I multiply by 100, the cents in a dollar; but dollars are readily brought into cents by annexing two ciphers, and into mills by annexing three ciphers. Also, any sum in Federal money may be written down as a whole number, and expressed in its lowest denomination; for, when dollars and cents are joined together as a whole number, without a separatrix, they will show how many cents the given sum contains; and when dollars, cents, and mills, are so joined together, they will show the whole number of mills in the given sum.-Hence, properly speaking, there is no reduction of this money; for cents are readily turned into dollars by cutting off the two right hand figures, and mills by pointing off three figures with a dot; the figures to the left hand of the dot, are dollars; and the figures cut off are cents, or tents and mills. 2.
