Answer 1

7 stacks of 6 dimes = 6•7 which is 42
8 stacks of 5 nickles = 8•5 which is 40
1 dime + 1 nickle
Add all of them together .......42+40+1+1=84

Hope this helped!❤️

Answer 2

Lets write down the information that we know.

Jessie has 7 stacks of 6 dimes, so Jessie has a total of 6*7 dimes

Dimes=7*6=42dimes

Jessie has 42 dimes, but then she found another one so lets add one more dime.

42+1=43 dimes

Jessie has 8 stacks of 5 nickels, so Jessie has 8*5 nickels

Nickels=8*5=40nickels

Jessie has 40 nickels, but then she found another one so lets add 1 to the total number of nickels.

40+1=41nickels

Now we can answer the question.

How many dimes and nickels does jessie have in all?

nickels+dimes=
41+43=84 coins

Jessie has 84 coins in total
