Question

If a jar of coins contains

30

​half-dollars and

120

​quarters, what is the monetary value of the​ coins?

Answer 1

Hi Nikki,

Each half-dollar will be worth 50 cents or $0.50 and each quarter will be worth 25 cents or $0.25.

Since there are 30 half-dollar coins, the value of these coins will be : 30 x $0.50 = $15.00

Since there are 120 quarters, the value of these coins will be: 120 x $0.25 = $30.00

The total of all the coins will be $15.00 + $30.00 = $45.00
