Question

Eddie has seven pennies,four nickels,eight dimes,and seven quarters.

Answer 1

You have 1.75 in quarters. Use 2 dimes and one nickel to get 2.00. 6 dimes equals 60 cents + 3 nickels which gives you 2.75 plus 7 pennies gives you 2.85.

Answer 2

a penny=1, a nickel=5,a dime= 10,a quarter=25
now lets use algebra
(1*7)+(4*5)+(8*10)+(7*25)=
7+20+80+175=
100+175+7=
275+7=
282
$2.82 is your answer
