Question

Amber has $1.50 in pennies and dimes. If there are five times as many pennies as dimes, how many pennies and dimes does Amber have?

Answer 1

Answer: 50 pennies and 10 dimes

Explanation:

0.01p+0.10d=1.50

p=5d

(0.01)5d + 0.10d=1.50

0.05d + 0.10d=1.50

0.15d=1.50

d= 1.50/0.15

d=10

p=5d

p=5x10

p=50

50 pennies, 10 dimes
