Question

The piggy bank contains 16 dimes, 8 nickels, and 12 quarters. This morning you removed 3 dimes and 5 nickels.Which expression correctly shows the amount remaining in the piggy bank?

Answer 1

16•0.10= 1.60$
8•0.05= 0.40¢
12•0.25= 3.00$

1.60$+0.40¢+3.00$= 5.00$

3•0.10= 0.30¢
5•0.05= 0.25¢

0.30¢+0.25¢= 0.55¢

5.00$-0.55¢= 4.45$

4.45$ is left in the piggy bank.
