Answer:
E.) nickle (5 cents)
Step-by-step explanation:
You give 25 cents (value of a quarter)
2 ten-cent candies is equal to 20 cents:
[tex]2*10=20\\10+10=20[/tex]
Find the difference between what you paid and the actual amount:
[tex]25-20=5[/tex]
You paid an extra 5 cents. Find the answer that has the same value as 5 cents:
A. ) 1 dime
This is wrong because a dime is worth 10 cents, not 5
B.) 1 nickel 2 pennies
this is wrong because a nickle is worth 5 cents and a penny is worthy 1 cent. Add the values, and the change would be 7 cents.
C.) 2 dimes
This is wrong because a dime is worth 10 cents, so 2 dimes would be 20 cents.
D.) 2 nickles
This is wrong because a nickle is worth 5 cents, so 2 nickles would be 10 cents.
E.) 1 nickle
This is correct because a nickle is worth 5 cents, the exact change you should receive.
