A. 0.50
B. 0.35
C. 0.25
D. 0.20

Answer 1

The amount lost is $0.55 or 0.55 as a decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount lost, we need to add up the values of one quarter, two dimes, and two nickels. One quarter is equal to $0.25, two dimes are equal to $0.20 (since each dime is worth $0.10), and two nickels are equal to $0.10 (since each nickel is worth $0.05). Adding these values together, we get $0.25 + $0.20 + $0.10 = $0.55.

Therefore, the amount lost is $0.55, which is equivalent to 0.55 as a decimal.
