Question

Solve the word problem. Mario has 18 coins in his drawer. Five of the coins are nickels, and the rest are pennies. What is the total value of the coins in his drawer?
a. 23¢
b. 38¢
c. 43¢
d. 90¢

Answer 1

B.38 because if 5 of the 18 are nickels which equal 5 you have 13 coins left and you have 25 cents. Now the rest are pennies that equal one cent so you just add 13 to 25 and you get 38 cents
