We have a jar of coins, all pennies and quarters. All together, we have 232 coins, and the total value of all coins in the jar is $ 46.00. How many pennies are there in the jar?

Answer 1

p+q = 232

p+25q = 4600

232-q +25q = 4600

24q = 4600-232 = 4368

q = 4368/24 = 182 quarters

p = 232-182= 50 pennies

50+25(182)

=50+4550

=4600
