Final answer:

Dione has a total of $94.50, which is calculated by adding the value of all her coin rolls: $1.50 from pennies, $8.00 from nickels, $25.00 from dimes, and $60.00 from quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount of money Dione has in her coin rolls, we need to consider the value of each type of coin and the quantity of each in the rolls. Let's calculate the total for each denomination separately:

  • Pennies: 3 rolls × 50 coins per roll = 150 pennies. Since there are 100 pennies in one dollar, Dione has $1.50 in pennies.
  • Nickels: 4 rolls × 40 coins per roll = 160 nickels. A nickel is worth 5 cents, so 160 nickels are worth $8.00.
  • Dimes: 5 rolls × 50 coins per roll = 250 dimes. A dime is worth 10 cents, so 250 dimes are worth $25.00.
  • Quarters: 6 rolls × 40 coins per roll = 240 quarters. A quarter is worth 25 cents, so 240 quarters are worth $60.00.

To find the total amount of money, we add each total:

$1.50 (pennies) + $8.00 (nickels) + $25.00 (dimes) + $60.00 (quarters) = $94.50

Therefore, Dione has a total of $94.50 in the various rolls of coins.
