Question

7. Jim has 44 nickels and dimes totaling

$2.95. How many nickels does he have? Show how you got this answer

Answer 1

convert $2.95 into cents by multiplying it by 100:

$2.95 x 100 = 295 cents

Since each nickel is worth 5 cents, we can divide the total amount by 5 to find the number of nickels:

295 ÷ 5 = 59 nickels

Therefore, the person has 59 nickels.
