Question

Martha put $4.84 in her coin bank. Each day she added 1 quarter, 1 nickel and 6 pennies how much does she add each day? How much money was in her coin bank after 6 days?

Answer 1

-Martha would add $0.36 each day.

-Martha would have $7 in her coin bank after 6 days.

Explanation:

1 quarter= $0.25

1 nickel= $0.05

1 penny= $0.01

To find the amount she adds each day, you have to add the results of multiplying each coin added on a day for its value:

1*0.25+1*0.05+6*0.01=0.25+0.05+0.06=0.36

This means that Martha would add $0.36 each day.

Then, to find the amount of money that was in her coin bank after 6 days, you have to add the amount she put on the coin bank plus the amount she added each day for the number of days:

$4.84+($0.36*6)=$4.84+$2.16=$7

According to this, Martha would have $7 in her coin bank after 6 days.
