Question

How would you translate this situation below into an algebraic expression?

Answer 1

Dime value: $0.10
Nickel value: $0.05

For this word problem, you are asked to create an algebraic expression (an equation) for the unknown variables. 

Now, we know that a dime is worth $0.10 or 10 cents and a nickel is worth $0.05 or 5 cents. So, all you would have to do is create an equation that takes those values into account. 
5n + 10d

Your algebraic expression would be B. 5n + 10d

I hope this helps!
