G
Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

q = quarters value = .25 q

n = nickels = 4q value = .05 (4q)

summed = 12.60

.25q + .05(4q) = 12.60 <====== can be used to solve the problem

.45q = 12.60

q = 28 quarters then nickels = 4q = 112
