Question

A bag contains​ pennies, nickels,​ dimes, and quarters. there are 50 coins in all. of the​ coins, 16​% are pennies and 32​% are dimes. there are 3 more nickels than pennies. how much money does the bag​ contain? the bag contains ​$ nothing.

Answer 1

16 % of 50 = 8
32% of 50 = 13
Nickels = 8+3
Nickles = 11

pennies + nickels +​ dimes + quarters = 50
8 + 11 + 13 + quarters = 50
32 + quarters = 50
32 -32 + quarters = 50 - 32
quarters = 18

$0.01(8) + $0.05(11) + $0.10(13) + $0.25(18) = $
$0.08 + $0.55 + $1.30 + $4.50 = $6.43
