Question

Kiara has $250.76 in her savings account. She also has 3 ten-dollar bills, 3 five-dollar bills, 3 quarters, and 4 pennies in her purse. How much money does Kiara have in all?

Answer 1

First, Kiara has $250.76;

Also,

`3\text{ ten dollars = 3}*10dollars=\text{ \$30.00}`

Also,

`3\text{ five dollars=}3*5dollars=\text{ \$15.00}`

Also,

`\begin{gathered} 4\text{ quarters = 1dollar} \\ \text{Kiara has 3 quarters;} \\ 3\text{ quarters= }(3)/(4)dollars=\text{ \$0.75} \end{gathered}`

Then,

`\begin{gathered} 1penny\text{ = 0.01 dollar} \\ \text{Kiara has 4 pennies;} \\ 4\text{ pennies= \$0.04} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the total money Kiara has is;

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$(250.76}+30.00+15.00+0.75+0.04) \\ =\text{ \$296.55} \end{gathered}`
