cody has five coins that total $1.10. what are the coins?
There are four quarters and one dime.
Quarter = 25 cents = 0.25
Dime = 10 cents = 0.10
0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = $1.00
1.00 + 0.10 = $1.10
So again, there is four quarters and one dime.
I hope this helps! :)
knew it, just checking. thanks brady
You're welcome Angelina. :)
To find out what the coins are, we can break down the problem into smaller steps.
Step 1: Identify the number of coins Cody has.
Cody has five coins.
Step 2: Determine the total value of the coins.
The total value of the coins is $1.10.
Step 3: Identify the different types of coins available.
In the US currency system, there are four common types of coins: pennies (1 cent), nickels (5 cents), dimes (10 cents), and quarters (25 cents).
Step 4: Create equations representing the problem.
Let's assign variables to each type of coin:
P = number of pennies
N = number of nickels
D = number of dimes
Q = number of quarters
Now we can create two equations based on the given information:
Equation 1: P + N + D + Q = 5 (Cody has a total of five coins)
Equation 2: 0.01P + 0.05N + 0.10D + 0.25Q = 1.10 (The total value of the coins is $1.10)
Step 5: Solve the equations.
Using substitution or elimination methods, we can solve the equations simultaneously to find the values of P, N, D, and Q.
Since this is a relatively simple problem, we can guess and check the values until we find the correct solution:
Option 1:
P = 5, N = 0, D = 0, Q = 0
(5 * 0.01) + (0 * 0.05) + (0 * 0.10) + (0 * 0.25) = $0.05
Option 2:
P = 0, N = 5, D = 0, Q = 0
(0 * 0.01) + (5 * 0.05) + (0 * 0.10) + (0 * 0.25) = $0.25
Option 3:
P = 0, N = 0, D = 5, Q = 0
(0 * 0.01) + (0 * 0.05) + (5 * 0.10) + (0 * 0.25) = $0.50
Option 4:
P = 0, N = 0, D = 0, Q = 5
(0 * 0.01) + (0 * 0.05) + (0 * 0.10) + (5 * 0.25) = $1.25
Option 5:
P = 2, N = 1, D = 0, Q = 2
(2 * 0.01) + (1 * 0.05) + (0 * 0.10) + (2 * 0.25) = $0.10 + $0.05 + $0.50 + $0.50 = $1.15
Option 6:
P = 1, N = 2, D = 0, Q = 2
(1 * 0.01) + (2 * 0.05) + (0 * 0.10) + (2 * 0.25) = $0.01 + $0.10 + $0.50 + $0.50 = $1.11
Option 6 seems to be the most likely solution. Cody's coins likely consist of 1 penny, 2 nickels, and 2 quarters, amounting to $1.10.
