Tithing is a blessing! Tithing money helps the Church build temples and churches, print scriptures, support missionaries, and much more. When we obey the commandment to pay tithing, Heavenly Father blesses us in many ways (see Malachi 3:10).
Figure out what each coin is worth. Then solve the final problem. How much tithing should you pay? (Hint: tithing is 10 percent.)
