Question

Joshua had m quarters in his pocket.  He also had one dime and n nickels.  What was the total value of his coins?

Answer 1

v_{q =} m*$0.25     value of quarters

v_d = $0.10         value of dime

v_n = n*$0.05     value of nickels

 

v_q + v_d + V_n        equation for total value of all coins

 

m*$0.25 + $0.10 + n*$0.05                  equation for total value of all coins.

 

You would need more information to determine the actual value.
