Question 1189519: Kevin has 3 quarters, 4 dimes and 8 pennies. He bought an ice cream cone just because he wanted one. The cone cost 86¢. What fraction of a dollar does he have left? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is 3 quarters, 3*25 cents/qr=75 cents
4 dimes, 4*10 cents/dime=40 cents
8 pennies=8 cents
He started with the sum or 123 cents
The cone cost 86 cents. That leaves 37 cents or $0.37 or 37/100 of a dollar.
