A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the decimal representation for 43 cents is 43, exactly as in the question. A decimal representation does not imply a change in the measurement units, for example to Dollars or Euros..
