Question

Kevin and Randy Muise have a jar containing 56 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. The total value of the coins in the jar is $6.80. How many of each type

of coin do they have?

Answer 1

Answer:I won’t give you a full answer but I can explain it.

Step-by-step explanation: Our “goal” is $6.80 we have to figure out how many nickels and quarters are in it. First off, which is bigger? A quarter. Count as far as you can until you can’t go over 6.80. Now add the remaining numbers (the nickels) and you will have your answer. Make sure when your adding to count each quarter and nickel!

Answer 2

36 nickels and 20 quarters

Explanation:

36x5= 180

25x20=500

500+180=680=6.80
