Milo has 15 Dimes, 20 Nickels, 19 Pennies, 8 Quarters, and 1 Half Dollar. Which expression shows one way Milo can use some or all of these coins to get $5.00?

Answer 1

1(.50)+8(.25)+20(.05)+15(.10)=5.00

Answer 2

0.1(15) + 0.05(20) + 19(.01) + 8(0.25) + 0.5 = 5

Explanation:

1 Dimes = 0.10 Dollar

1 Nickels = 0.05 Dollar

1 Pennies = 0.01 Dollar

1 quarters = 0.25 Dollar

Now expression will be made by which Milo can use some or all of these coins to get $5.00.

The expression of 15 Dimes, 20 Nickels, 19 Pennies, 8 Quarters and a half Dollar is equal to $5 is

0.1(15) + 0.05(20) + 19(.01) + 8(0.25) + 0.5 = 5
