Question

Alexandra has 36 coins valued at $6.00. She has only nickels and quarters. Which equation can be used to solve for the number of nickels, n?

A.0.05n + 0.25(36 – n) = 6
B.0.05n + 0.25(36 – n) = 36
C.n + 0.05 = 0.05n
D.n + (36 – n) = 36

Answer 1

Answer: A. 0.05n + 0.25(36 – n) = 6

Step-by-step explanation: Answer is A, because the total is 6 dollars, so all we're trying look for is how many nickels and quarters are there to give us 6 bucks in total. 36-n is basically the amount of total coins minus the number of either nickels or quarters found

Answer is A, because the total is 6 dollars, so all we're trying look for is how many nickels and quarters are there to give us 6 bucks in total. 36-n is basically the amount of total coins minus the number of either nickels or quarters found
