Question

A bag contains 22 coins consisting of quarters and nickels. The total value of the coins is $3.90. How many nickels are in the bag? *

Answer 1

Answer:

8 Nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a Nickel is worth 5 cents ($0.05)

And a Quarter is worth 25 ($0.25)

and theres 22 coins

8 of those coins would be nickels which would mean we add 8 nickels up

8 x 0.05 = 0.4

then we add the quarters up

14 x 0.25 = 3.5

3.5 + 0.4 = $3.90
