If the given quantities are 10 quarters 17 dimes 40 nickels 15 pennies then the total money would be 6.35 dollars.
<h3>What is the fundamental principle of multiplication?</h3>
If an event can occur in m different ways and if following it, a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.
Quarters are worth .25 of a dollar
10 x .25 = 2.5
Dimes are worth .10 of a dollar
17 x .10 = 1.7
Nickels are worth .05 of a dollar
40 x .05 = 2
Pennies are worth .01 of a dollar
15 x .01 = 0.15
Add this together
2.5 + 1.7 + 2 + 0.15
= 6.35
