Question 1062929: Max wants to earn 700 hundred dollars in dimes but only has 44 days to collect how much dimes does he need to collect everyday
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 dollar = 10 dimes

700*1 dollar = 700*10 dimes

700 dollars = 7,000 dimes

----------------------------------------------

Max wants to earn 700 dollars, ie 7000 dimes, over 44 days. Divide the number of dimes (7000) over the number of days (44)

7000/44 = 159.09090909091

which rounds up to 160

If we round down, then we will miss the mark.

------------------------------------------------

Max needs to earn 160 dimes per day
