Question

Kelly has 4 dimes and some nickels. The value of her coins is 2.25 how many

Nickels does she have.

Answer 1

4 dimes=4 *10=40 cents

2.25-0.40=1.85


1.85=0.05 times number of nickles
times 100 both sides
185=5 times number of nickels
divide both sides by 5
37=number of nickles

has 37 nickles
