Kevin was hungry. “Grrrr!”
“What was that?” asked Steven.
“My stomach bro,” replied Kevin. “Let’s get pizza!”
The two stopped at Jessie’s Best Pizza Pies where slices are only 75 cents each. Kevin took out his coins. He had 36 coins. Half of his coins were dimes, one-third of his coins were nickels, and the rest of his coins were quarters.
a. How much money does Kevin have?
b. How many slices of pizza can Kevin buy?

"cant" get a peice of paper*
it is easy just follow the steps. bye for now
To find the answers to these questions, you need to calculate the value of Kevin's coins and then determine how much money he has and how many slices of pizza he can buy.
a. To calculate the value of Kevin's coins, let's break it down into the different types of coins he has:
- Half of his coins were dimes: 36 coins / 2 = 18 dimes. Since one dime is worth 10 cents, Kevin has 18 * 10 = 180 cents from dimes.
- One-third of his coins were nickels: 36 coins / 3 = 12 nickels. Since one nickel is worth 5 cents, Kevin has 12 * 5 = 60 cents from nickels.
- The rest of his coins were quarters: 36 coins - 18 dimes - 12 nickels = 6 quarters. Since one quarter is worth 25 cents, Kevin has 6 * 25 = 150 cents from quarters.
Now, add up the value of each type of coin to find the total:
180 cents (dimes) + 60 cents (nickels) + 150 cents (quarters) = 390 cents.
Therefore, Kevin has 390 cents, which is equivalent to $3.90.
b. Since each slice of pizza costs 75 cents, divide Kevin's total money by the cost of each slice:
$3.90 (Kevin's money) / $0.75 (cost per slice) = 5.2 slices.
Kevin can buy 5 whole slices of pizza with his money. Since you cannot buy fractional slices, Kevin can only buy 5 slices of pizza, leaving him with 10 cents remaining.
