You can put this solution on YOUR website! Marie poured her coins into a machine. The machine counted 88 coins.
For every penny, there were 5 nickles, 3 dimes, and 2 quarters.
What was the total value of maries coins?
:
let x = no. of pennies
then
5x = no. of nickels
3x = no. of dimes
2x = no. of quarters
:
Find x
x + 5x + 3x + 2x = 88
11x = 88
x = 88/11
x = 8 pennies
then we have
40 nickels
24 dimes
16 quarters
Find the value
.01(8) + .05(40) + .10(24) + .25(16) = $
