Mariam only saves quarters and dimes. She has already saved 13 quarters and 5 dimes. She wants to purchase a book that costs 7.75. Not including the money she already has, what combinations of quarters and dimes could Mariam save so she has exactly enough money to buy the book?

Respuesta :

Answer: 8 Quarters, 20 Dimes

Quarters:

Current/ 13

13x25= 3.25

Dimes:

Current/ 5

5x10= 50 …. 50 cents

Current price: $3.75

Need $4.00

What you need:

Quarters: +8

4 = 100 x2 is 200 …. $2.00

Dimes: + 20

10 = 100 x2 is 200 … $2.00
