Question

You have 2 five-dollar bills, 4 one-dollar bills, 2 quarters, I nickel, and 2 pennies. a. What is the value of the bills? b. What is the value of the coins? c. How much money do you have?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a: $\ 14$ or $14$ dollars

b: $\ 0.57$ or $57$ cents

c: $\ 14.57$ or $14$ dollars and $57$ cents

Step-by-step explanation:

a: We have $2$ $\ 5$ bills, which have a total value of $2*5= \ 10$. We also have $4$ $\ 1$ bills, which have a total value of $4*1= \ 4$. Adding these up gives us  $10+4= \bf \ 14$ or $\bf 14$ dollars for the total value of the bills.

b: Remember that a quarter is worth $\ 0.25$, a nickel is worth $\ 0.05$, and a penny is worth $\ 0.01$. Therefore, $2$ quarters are worth $2*0.25=\ 0.50$, $1$ nickel is worth $1*0.05=\ 0.05$, and $2$ pennies are worth $2*0.01=\ 0.02$. Adding these up gives us $0.50+0.05+0.02=\bf \ 0.57$ or $\bf 57$ cents for the total value of the coins.

c: We know that the total value of the bills is $\ 14$ (or $14$ dollars) from Part A and the total value of the coins is $\ 0.57$ (or $57$ cents) from Part B. Therefore, we have $14+0.57=\bf \ 14.57$ in total or $\bf 14$ dollars and $\bf 57$ cents.

Hope this helps!
