Question

How many quarters make 40 dollars

Answer 1

Given problem;

  Number of quarters in $40;

   

To solve this problem;

• Convert the dollar value to cents;  

                 100cents  = $1

               In $40, we would have;  40 x 100 = 4000cents

• 1 quarter = 25 cents

   So, divide 4000cents by 25 to obtain the number of quarters in that amount of dollars;

      Number of quarters = $\frac{4000}{25}$   = 160

So there are 160 quarters in $40
