Given:
Amount of change = 135% of a dollar
Let's find the choice which best represents the possible change received.
Given that the change received is 135% of a dollar, we have:
135% of $1 = $1.35
Hence, the change received is 1 dollar and 35 cents.
Now, to find the best representation, we have:
Where:
• 1 quarter = 25 cents
,
• 1 dime = 10 cents
,
• 1 nickel = 5 cents
Let's start from option A.
• A,) 5 quarters and 1 nickel.
We have:
5 quarters = 5 x 25 = 125 cents
1 nickel = 1 x 5 = 5 cents
Total = 125 + 5 = 130 cents = $1.30
• B.) 1 half dollar 3 quarters 1 dime and 1 nickel.
Where:
1 half dollar = 50 cents
3 quarters = 3 x 25 = 75 cents
1 dime = 10 cents
1 nickel = 5 cents.
Total = 50 + 75 + 10 + 5 = 140 cents = $1.40
• C.) 4 quarters 3 dimes and 1 nickel.
Where:
4 quarters = 4 x 25 = 100 cents
3 dimes = 3 x 10 = 30 cents
1 nickel = 5 cents
Total = 100 + 30 + 5 = 135 cents = $1.35
Therefore, the best representation is option C, which is also $1.35 or 135% of a dollar.
ANSWERS:
4 quarters 3 dimes and 1 nickll
