Question

You have 2 five-dollar bills, 4 one-dollar bills, 2 quarters, I nickel, and 2 pennies. a. What is the value of the bills? b. What is the value of the coins? c. How much money do you have?​

Answer 1

a:
`\$ 14` or
`14` dollars

b:
`\$0.57` or
`57` cents

c:
`\$14.57` or
`14` dollars and
`57` cents

Explanation:

a: We have
`2`
`\$5` bills, which have a total value of
`2*5= \$10`. We also have
`4`
`\$1` bills, which have a total value of
`4*1= \$4`. Adding these up gives us
`10+4= \bf \$14` or
`\bf 14` dollars for the total value of the bills.

b: Remember that a quarter is worth
`\$0.25`, a nickel is worth
`\$0.05`, and a penny is worth
`\$0.01`. Therefore,
`2` quarters are worth
`2*0.25=\$0.50`,
`1` nickel is worth
`1*0.05=\$0.05`, and
`2` pennies are worth
`2*0.01=\$0.02`. Adding these up gives us
`0.50+0.05+0.02=\bf \$0.57` or
`\bf 57` cents for the total value of the coins.

c: We know that the total value of the bills is
`\$ 14` (or
`14` dollars) from Part A and the total value of the coins is
`\$0.57` (or
`57` cents) from Part B. Therefore, we have
`14+0.57=\bf \$ 14.57` in total or
`\bf 14` dollars and
`\bf 57` cents.

Hope this helps!
