Answer 2

$5.37

Explanation:

Given the information, it will be easier to start with the pennies, dimes, and nickels and end with the quarters.

50 * 0.14 = P

50 * 0.14 = 7 pennies

50 * 0.38 = D

50 * 0.38 = 19 dimes

6 + P = N

6 + 7 = 13 nickels

50 - (P + D + N) = Q

50 - (7 + 19 + 13) = 11 quarters

(7 * 0.01) + (19 * 0.1) + (13 * 0.05) + (11 * 0.25) = 5.37
