Question

Coretta has 79 nickels, 31 dimes, 13 quarters , and 9 fifty-cent pieces. How much money does she have?

Answer 1

First count the change of 2 quarters, four dimes, and 3 nickels which = 50 + 40 + 15 = 105 cents = 1 dollar and 5 cents = $1.05. Next count the bills which equals = 20 + 10 = 30 dollars = $30. Now add them together = 30 dollars + 1 dollar + 5 cents = 31 dollars and 5 cents = $31.05.

Answer 2

Hello!

A nickel is worth $0.05

Multiply this by the amount of nickels

79 * 0.05 = $3.95

A dime is worth $0.10

31 * 0.10 = $3.10

A quarter is worth 0.25

13 * 0.25 = $3.25

A fifty cent coin is worth 0.50

9 * 0.50 = $4.50

Add all the values you have

4.50 + 3.25 + 3.10 + 3.95 = 14.8

The answer is $14.80

Hope this helps!
