Question

If a jar of coins contains 20 half-dollars and 200 quarters, what is the monetary value of the coins?

Answer 1

Answer:

40(.50) + 200(.25) = 20 + 50 = $70

Step-by-step explanation:

40(.50) + 200(.25) = 20 + 50 = $70

Answer 2

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

20 half dollars means that there's 10 dollars in it (because you divide 20 by 2 since 2 half dollars make one dollar)

It takes 4 quarters to make one dollar and if there's 200 quarters then there's 50 dollars in it (200 divided by 4 is 50)
