Question

John has a total of 13 coins in his pocket. Of the 13 coins, they are all either quarters or dimes. The total value of the coins is $2.50. How many quarters does John have in his pocket?

Answer 1

8 quarters = (8 x .25) = $2.00

5 dimes = (5 x .10) = $.50

$2.00 + $.50 = $2.50

8 + 5 = 13
