Abe Cassidy wants to deposit the following into his savings account: 32 one-dollar bills, 4 five-dollar bills, 32 quarters, 25 dimes, 82 pennies, a check for $43.56, and a check for $122.90. He wants to receive a $50.00 bill in cash. How much will he deposit?

136.22

10.44

$229.78

$179.78

Answer 1

179.78

Explanation:

Let's count how much Abe has exactly:

32 one-dollar bills: $32

4 five-dollar bills: $20

32 quarters: $8

25 dimes : $2.50

82 pennies : $0.82

First check: $43.56

Second check: $122.90

Total = $229.78

And he wants a $50 bill... so he'll deposit $179.78 ($229.78 - $50).
