Explanation:
This is the complete question.
Tina saved 25 more dimes than nickels. she saved 6 times as many dimes as nickels. How much money did she save in all?
The following can be gotten from the question:
= 25 ÷ (6 - 1)
= 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Tina saved 5 nickels,
5 nickels= 5 × 5= 25 cents
25 cents= 25/100 = $0.25
5 + 25 = 30
Tina saved 30 dimes,
30 dimes = 300 cents= 3 dollars since 100 cents= 1 dollar
3 + 0.25 = $3.25,
Tina saved $3.25
