Question

Dione has 3 rolls of pennies containing 50 coins each, 4 rolls of nickels containing 40 coins each, 5 rolls of dimes containing 50 coins each, and 6 rolls of quarters containing 40 coins each. How much money does she have?

A. $106.20
B. $17.50
C. $8.00
D. $94.50

Answer 1

the total number of pennies she has - 3 x 50 = 150
value of penny - $ 0.01
value she has from pennies - $0.01 x 150 = $1.50

total number of nickels she has - 4 x40 = 160
value of nickel - $ 0.05
value she has from nickels - $0.05 x 160 = $8

total number of dimes she has - 5 x 50 = 250
value of dime - $ 0.10
value she has from dimes - $0.10 x 250 = $25

total number of quarters she has - 6 x 40 = 240
value of quarter - $ 0.25
value she has - $ 0.25 x 240 = $ 60

total amount of money she has = 1.50 + 8 + 25 + 60
money she has = $ 94.50
correct answer is D
