Nick spends 5 pennies on a sheet of blue and yellow paper, then Steve buys a sheet of green paper for 3 quarters. How much money do they spend in all?
¢
Nick spends 5 pennies, which is equal to 5/100 = 0.05 dollars.
Steve spends 3 quarters, which is equal to 3*25/100 = 0.75 dollars.
Therefore, they spend a total of 0.05 + 0.75 = 0.80 dollars.
In cents, it is equal to 80 cents.
To find the total amount of money Nick and Steve spend, we need to determine the cost of each item and then add them together.
1. Nick spends 5 pennies on a sheet of blue and yellow paper.
Since there are 100 pennies in a dollar, the cost of the paper in dollars is 5/100 = 0.05 dollars.
2. Steve buys a sheet of green paper for 3 quarters.
There are 4 quarters in a dollar, so the cost of the green paper in dollars is 3/4 = 0.75 dollars.
Finally, to find the total amount of money they spend, we add Nick's cost to Steve's cost:
0.05 + 0.75 = 0.80 dollars.
Therefore, Nick and Steve spend a total of 0.80 dollars.
