Question

Alan has 11 nickels and

dimes in his pocket. When
he counted his change he
found he had $0.95. How
many dimes does Alan
have?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Nickels are 5 cents a piece so you will multiple 11 by 5 to find how much Alan has in nickels. Then subtract that from the total of 95 to get your answer.

11 × 5 = 55

95 - 54 = 40

Since dimes are worth 10 cents you divide 40 by 10 and that is how many dimes Alan has.

40/10=4
