Answer: 157 cents ($1.57)
Step-by-step explanation: Nickels are worth 5 cents each, so 5 cents times 7 nickels equals a total of 35 cents. After that, we have 5 quarters which cost 25 cents each, so 25 cents times 5 quarters equals a total of 125 cents. Combine these two products, and you get 157 cents. Or, if you want it in dollars, you can divide 157 by 100 cents (there are 100 cents in a dollar) and end up with $1,57.
