Answer:
C. 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Quarters are worth 25 cents each
Nickels are worth 5 cents each
Let n be the number of nickels that Jamar as in his pocket.
We already know that he only has 1 quarter in his pocket which is worth 25 cents, so we can form this equation:
5n + 25 = 90
5 meaning that each nickel is worth 5 cents, 25 meaning that he has only 1 quarter in his pocket (25 cents) and 90 meaning that he has a total of 25 cents in his pocket.
We have to isolate the n so we can subtract 25 from both sides to get:
5n = 65
After that we can get n by dividing 5 from both sides:
n = 13
Therefore there are 13 nickels in his pocket.
Let me know if I did anything incorrectly.
