Question

Olivia has 21 coins in her drawer. Nine of the coins are nickels, and the rest are pennies.

What is the total value of the coins in her drawer?

Answer 1

do 21-9=12. So there are 12 pennies. then since you are finding the value of the coins you do 9*5=45 since there are 9 nickels and each nickel is 5 cents. Then you add 45+12=57. So the value is 57 cents.

Answer 2

21 COINS
9 are NICKLES
all the other are pennies
21 - 9 =12
so 12 pennies
1 nickle is 5 cents so
5*9 = 45 cents so
45 + 12 = 57
so the answer is 57 cents
