Question

Annie has coins to buy a gel pen

at the store. It costs 85¢. She has
2 quarters and I nickel. What two
coins does she still need?

Answer 1

1 quarter and 1 nickel

Explanation:

2 quarters = 50 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

if we add those up, we get 55 cents.

Now we subtract 85 with 55 to get the exact number of cents missing.

85 - 55 = 30 cents.

two coins that can add up to 30 cents are 1 quarter and 1 nickel, given that 25 +5 is equal to 30.
