Question

Marcela has 4 qauaters ,2 dimes,2nickels,3 pennies .How much money does marcela have in all?

Answer 1

$1.33

Explanation:

First, lets write out all of the coins as decimals, so its easier to work with.

Quarters are .25 cents

Dimes are .10 cents

Nickles are .05 cents

Pennies are .01 cents.

If she has 4 quarters, thats the same as having .25 cents x 4.

.25 times 4 is 1.00, so we know she has $1.00 just from the quarters.

She has 2 dimes. This is the same as .10 x 2, which is .20

Now we add that to the $1.00 she has from quarters, so we are at $1.20

She has 2 nickles, which is .05 x 2, or .10. Add that to the $1.20 to get $1.30

She has 3 pennies which is .01 x 3, or 0.3. Add this to $1.30 to get $1.33

So Marcela has $1.33 in total

Answer 2

$1.33

Explanation:

4 quarters = $1.00

2 dimes = 20 cents

2 nickels = 10 cents

3 pennies = 3 cents

100 + 20 + 10 + 3 = 133 cents

(put a decimal after hundreds and thousands place)

$1.33
