Answer 2

2 dimes and 3 nickels = $0.35 = 35 cents

Explanation:

Coins in Destiny's Piggy Bank

• 5 dimes
• 1 quarter
• 8 nickels

The next day, Destiny takes out 1 quarter, 3 dimes, and 5 nickels:

⇒ 5 dimes - 3 dimes = 2 dimes

⇒ 1 quarter - 1 quarter = 0 quarters

⇒ 8 nickels - 5 nickels = 3 nickels

Therefore, Destiny has in her Piggy Bank:

• 2 dimes
• 3 nickels

Given:

• 1 dime = 10 cents = $0.10
• 1 nickel = 5 cents = $0.05

Therefore, the amount of money Destiny has in her piggy bank is:

⇒ 2 × $0.10 + 3 × $0.05 = $0.35
