Jessie sorted the coins in her bank. She made 7 stacks of 6 dimes and 8 stacks of 5 nickels. She then found 1 dime and 1 nickel. How many dimes and nickels does Jessie have in all?

Hello!

So, Jessie made 7 stacks of dimes and 8 stacks of nickels.

Each stack of dimes has 6 dimes.

Each stack of nickels has 5 nickels. Multiply:

6 × 7 = 42

8 × 5 = 40

Then she finds another dime and another nickel.

42 + 1 = 43

40 + 1 = 41

43 + 41 = 84

ANSWER:

Jessie has 43 dimes, 41 nickels, and 84 coins in all.
