Question

Amos has 93 cents two of his coins are quarters what is the largest number of nickels he might have

Answer 1

2 are quarters
quarters are worth 25 cents each
2*25=50
50 cents are quarters
93-50=43 cents that aren't quarters

now if we want max number of nickles
how many times can 5 go into 43
43/5=8 and a remainder of 3
so 8 times


max number is 8 nickles

Answer 2

Amos can have 8 nickels, and he will have 3 cents left

93 - 50 = 43

5 goes into 43 eight times

5x8 = 40

Hope this helps!
