So. How much will 5 quarters and 6 dimes cost if I add them together? :/

Quarter = .25

Dime = .10

5(.25) + 6(.10) = Your Answer

Can you solve that equation?

shadowlegendx · Answer

$$6 \times .10$$

or

$$6(.10)$$

$$=.60$$|

This is pretty simple as these are just base numbers

shadowlegendx · Answer

So now we have

$$1.25 + .60 = ?$$

Can you solve that?

would be much clearer as:

What is the total value of 5 quarters and 6 dimes?  

A coin doesn't "cost" some figure; instead, a coin has a "value."

1.85 should be your answer :)

mathmale · Answer

Total value = value of 1 dime  times the number of dimes   PLUS    value of 1 quarter times the number of quarters.

mathmale · Answer

Use the dollar sign here.
