Question

Shaquana finds some nickels and pennies in her change purse. How much money (in

dollars) does she have if she has 60 nickels and 50 pennies? How much money (in
dollars) does she have if she has x nickels and y pennies?

Answer 1

3.50$

Explanation:

Since a nickel is 5 cents, you would do 5 x 60 which would equal 300, which is 3 dollars.

Since a penny is worth 1 cent, you would do 1 x 50 and get 50 cents, which is half a dollar.

3 + .5 = 3.50

Hope this helps!
