Question

The coins in the store's cash register total $4.00. The cash register contains only nickles, dimes and quarters. There is an equal number of each coin. How many dimes are in the cash register?

Answer 1

There are 10 of each coin in the cash register.
10 quarters (2.50) plus 10 dimes (1.00) plus 10 nickels (.50) = 4.00
The formula to solve this problem is:
(X x .25) + (X x .10) + (X x .05) = 4.00
X (.25+.10+.05) = 4.00
X = 4.00/.4 = 10

Answer 2

So the final answer is 10?

Answer 3

yes!
