Answer:
The bag contains $5.14
Step-by-step explanation:
18% of 50 = (.18)(50) = 9 pennies
40% of 50 = (.40)(50) = 20 dimes
2 more nickels than pennies = 9 + 2 = 11 nickels
40 coins so far, so 50 - 40 = 10 quarters
Total value:
9 x ($0.01) = $0.09 for pennies
20 x ($0.10) = $2.00 for dimes
11 x ($0.05) = $0.55 for nickels
10 x ($0.25) = $2.50 for quarters
Grand total value = $5.14
