It is to be noted that for this item, we more concern of the pounds of flour. The number of batches is calculated by dividing the total mass of flour used by the amount per batch. That is,
n = 86 lbs / (1 + 5/8 lbs/batch)
n = 52.92 batch
Thus, the chef makes approximately 53 batches of pasta.

Due to BIDMAS/BODMAS
anything that is first, in this case division, goes into brackets.
6 divided by 3 would go into brackets making you solve that first then u would subtract your answer by 12 making your answer 4

Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80
where n = nickels and q = quarters.
---
Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.
n = 84 - q
---
Plug n into the second equation.
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80
Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80
Combine like terms.
4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80
Subtract 4.2 from both sides.
0.2q = 8.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
q = 43
---
Plug 43 for q in the first equation.
n + (43) = 84
Subtract 43 from both sides.
n = 41
---
There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅
