Answer:

67¢

Explanation:

  1. 1 nickel = 5¢, so 3 nickels = 3 × 5
  2. 3 × 5 = 15¢
  3. "Spent" means subtraction or take away, so when it says 82¢ until she spent 3 nickels, it means she subtracted 3 nickels
  4. Following what we said above, re-write the expression: 82¢ - 15¢
  5. 82 - 15 = 67¢

I hope this helps!
