Question

Andrea has $12.60 in nickels how many nickels does she have

Answer 1

Easy,

So a nickel's worth in hundredths/cents/etc is...

$0.05

Now, you have $12.60 TOTAL, so just divide to find out how many nickles there are...


`(12.60)/(0.05)`

=252

Thus, you have 252 nickles.

To check your work take 252*0.05=12.60

Thus, you know your answer is correct.
