Question #4770d

Answer 1

She has `32` quarters.

Explanation:

`58` nickels are equal to `$2.90` because

`58 xx $0.5 ("the value of the nickel") = $2.90`

Then you subtract `2.90` from `10.90`, and you know that she has `$8 left`, which is supposedly all in quarters.

`($8) / ($0.25 ("the value of the quarter")) = 32`

This means that she has `32` quarters because `$8` in quarters + `$2.90` in nickels `= $10.90`.
