Umar has 5 dimes in his right pocket and three dimes in his left pocket how much money does omar have? what is the hidden question?

I'm guessing that the hidden question is how many dimes does Omar have? because this is the first thing I asked myself when solving this equation.

So how many dimes does Omar have?

5 + 3 = 8

Now we know that one dime = 10 cents, so to find the amount of money in cents, all we need to do is multiply 8 * 10

8 * 10 = 80

Omar has 80 cents
