Question

A bag contains pennies, nickels, nickels, and nickels. There are 50 coins in total. Of the coins, 14% are pennies and 34% are dimes. There are 6 more nickels than pennies. How much money does the bag contain?

Answer 1

answer:

8 pennies,16 dimes,13 nickels,13 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of coins = 50

16% are pennies

16% of 50

16/100 x 50=(16x50)/100=800/100=8

Pennies = 8

32% are dimes

32% of 50

32/100 x 50=(32x50)/100=1600/100=16

Dimes = 16

5 more nickels than pennies

Pennies = 8

nickels = 8 + 5 = 13

nickels = 13

8+16+13=37

50 - 37 = 13

13 quarters

pennies = 8, dimes = 16, nickels = 13, quarters = 13
