Shannon has 1 nickel, 2 dimes, and 5 unknown coins totaling $0.81. What kind of coins does Shannon have and how many are there of each denomination?
Answer:
One penny
One nickel
Five dimes
One quarter total
Step-by-step explanation:
81 – 25(coins we know) = 56 cents left
So we know we need 1 penny
Then 4 coins make up 55 cents, so that’s a quarter & 3 dimes
Answer:
The 5 unknown are 1 quarter, 3 dimes, and 1 penny.
