Question 962136: If you had 6 dollars, 5 quarters, 9 nickels, and 8 dimes. How many 2 dollar chips can you buy?

Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
total money = 6($1.00) + 5($0.25) + 9($0.05) + 8($0.10) = $8.50

amount of chips = ($8.50)/($2.00) = 4.25

You can't have a decimal amount of a chip, so you can buy 4 chips.
