Answer 1

Alita received 24 dollars and 25 cents ($24.25) as change at the grocery store.

For given question,

Alita received twenty-two dollars, seven quarters, and five dimes as change at the grocery store.

The value of coins is all counted in cents.

1 Penny = 1 cent  

1 Nickel = 5 cents  

1 Dime = 10 cents  

1 Quarter = 25 cents

And 1 Dollar = 100 cents

Alita received seven quarters, and five dimes coins as change at the grocery store.

seven quarters = (7 × 25) cents

                         = 175 cents

five dimes =  (5 × 10) cents

                 = 50 cents

The total coins are:

seven quarters, and five dimes

= 175 + 50 cents

= 225 cents

Now we add all change together.

twenty-two dollars, seven quarters, and five dimes

= 22 dollars + 225 cents

= 22 dollars + 2.25 dollars

= 24.25 dollars

= $24.25

Therefore, Alita received 24 dollars and 25 cents ($24.25) as change at the grocery store.
