Frank and Jerry save quarters in a piggy bank. The bank had $28 in it, then Frank put in F quarters and Jerry put in J quarters. Which expression can be used to represent the amount of money in the bank now? Responses A FJ + 28FJ + 28 B 0.25FJ + 280.25FJ + 28 C 0.50(F + J) + 280.50(F + J) + 28 D 0.25F + 0.25J + 28
Since Frank put in F quarters and Jerry put in J quarters, the total number of quarters in the bank is F + J. Each quarter is equivalent to $0.25, so the total amount of money in the bank is 0.25(F + J). Additionally, there was already $28 in the bank, so the expression that represents the amount of money in the bank now is 0.25(F + J) + 28.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 0.25FJ + 280.25FJ + 28.
