Answer:

$1.40

Explanation:

4 quarters

1 quarter = 25 cents

Therefore, 4 quarters = 1/25 x 4/x

multiply 4 by 25, since 1 quarter = 25 cents

4 x 25 = 100

4 quarters = 100 cents

which equals $1

8 nickels

1 nickle = 5 cents

Therefore, 8 nickles = 1/5 x 8/x

multipy 8 by 5, since 1 nickel = 5cents

8 x 5 = 40

8 nickels = 40 cents

So add both 40 cents and 100 cents, which equals 140 cents.

But you still have to change the cents to dollars.

Which is 100 cents = $1

Add 40 cents

= $1.40
