Question

How much is 5 quarters and 8 dimes?

Answer 1

Answer:  2.05 dollars

=================================================

Work Shown:

1 quarter = 25 cents

5 quarters = 125 cents .... multiply both sides by 5

1 dime = 10 cents

8 dimes = 80 cents .... multiply both sides by 8

(5 quarters) + (8 dimes) = (125 cents) + (80 cents) = 205 cents

205 cents = 205/100 = 2.05 dollars

-------------------------

Another way to approach the problem is to compute

5*25 + 8*10 = 205

that's the total number of cents
