Question

A piggy bank contains six times as many quarters as dimes. If the total amount of money
is $28.80, how many quarters and dimes are in the piggy bank?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 108 quarters
• 18 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of 6 quarters and 1 dime has a value of $1.60. Then there are ...

  $28.80/$1.60 = 18

groups like that in the piggy bank.

The number of quarters is 18×6 = 108.

The number of dimes is 18×1 = 18.

There are 108 quarters and 18 dimes in the piggy bank.
