Question

If you had 40 dimes how many nickels do you need to get 5.00$?

Answer 1

Note that 10 dimes = $1

Therefore , 40 dimes = 40/10 = $4

So if you had 40 dimes, its equivalent to you having $4

To get $5, if you already have $4 , you will be needing $1 more

Convert $1 to nickels

But 20 nickels = $1

Hence, you will be needing 20 nickels to get $5
