Question

If i have 9 nickels how many dimes do i have

Answer 1

Hi Amie, 9 nickels equals 45 cents.

 

Subtract the 45 cents from the $1.15, leaving $.70

 

The number of times plus the number of quarters must equal the $.70

 

Start by finding the number of quarters in $.70

 

Answer: 2, because each quarter is $.25. If we multiply $.25 by 3, we have more than $.70.

 

2 quarters = $.50

 

Subtract $.50 from $.70 leaves, $.20.

 

Each dime represents $.10, therefore, there are 2 dimes in $.20

 

The number of each coin in your pocket is 9 nickels, 2 dimes, and 2 quarters.
