Question

If Malik has 4 times as many nickels as quarters and they have a combined value of 315 cents, how many of each coin does he have?

Answer 1

Set up your equation

4q + q = 315 Add (q = amount of quarters)

5q = 315 Divide

q = 63

Therefore he has 63 quarters.

To find the amount of nickels, multiply 4 and 63

4 x 63 = 252

Therefore he has 63 quarters and 252 nickels.

I hope this helps! :)
