Question

Samantha is collecting quarters for a school fundraiser. She wants to wrap what she has already collected into coin rolls. Each coin roll holds 40 quarters. If Samantha has 479 quarters, how many coin rolls will she need?

Answer 1

Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Each coin roll can hold 40 quarters

There are a total of 479 quarters

So, no of coin roll $=\dfrac{\text{Total quarters}}{\text{Holding capacity of each coin roll}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{479}{40}=11.975$

As no of coin rolls cannot be in decimal

$\therefore$ there are 12 coin rolls
