Question 398683: what does three quarters,three nickels,six dimes,and four pennies egual??
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 penny = 0.01 dollars
1 nickel = 0.05 dollars
1 dime = 0.10 dollars
1 quarter = 0.25 dollars


So 3 quarters = 3*0.25 = 0.75 dollars, 3 nickels = 3*0.05 = 0.15 dollars, 6 dimes = 6*0.10 = 0.60 dollars, and 4 pennies = 4*0.01 = 0.04 dollars

Add these figures up to get


0.75+0.15+0.60+0.04 = 1.54 dollars


So the answer is $1.54
