If it is 5 equally spaced marks, then each mark represents 1/6
0 -- 1/6 -- 2/6 -- 3/6 -- 4/6 -- 5/6 -- 1
so the third mark would represent 3/6 which reduces to 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: C. pay off credit debt, emergency fund, retirement
Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c
Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:
25q + 5n = 150
Rearranging to make n the subject:
n = 30 - 5q
Next, we use the second statement:
n = 2q - 5
Substituting this into the first equation:
2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5
Putting this value for q into the first equation:
n = 30 - 5(5) = 5
Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)

Answer is 72
Step by step
Using order of math rules of PEMDAS, we do the inner parentheses “P” first, working outwards with parentheses and then exponents, multiply and divide, add and subtract.
2x [4x(2+1)x3] add inner parentheses
2 x [4 x 3 x 3] multiply inside brackets
2 x 36 multiply for your answer
= 72
