Answer:

The correct answer is : 44 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quarter is one fourth of a dollar that is the reason it is known as quarter. A quarter is 25 cents or 0.25 dollar in value. If Matthew has 176 quarters in his jar than the value of the total coins would be:

1 quarter = 0.25 dollar

1 quarter = 1/4 dollar.

4 quarter = 1 dollar

then, 176 / 4 = x dollar

= 44 dollar

Thus, The correct answer is : 44 dollars.
