Answer 1

Answer:

There are 88 silver pieces and 220 silver dollars.

You will get $66.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 132 more silver dollars than 50-cent pieces.

Let # of 50-cent pieces by "x"; # of silver dollars is "x+132"

------------------------

The ratio of the silver dollars to 50-cent pieces is 5:2.

So how many of each coin are there?

EQUATION:

(x+132)/x = 5/2

Cross-multiply to get:

2x+264 = 5x

3x = 264

x = 88 (# of 50-cent pieces)

x + 132 = 220 (# of silver dollars)

Total amount is 220 + 1/2*88 = 220 + 44 = 264.

Times 1/4 = 66.
