Question

Write the word expression in mathematical symbols.



The value in cents of 4 quarters and x dimes is _____.

Answer 1

one quarter is worth 25 cents (or, in terms of dollars, 0.25)

so 4 quarters is worth 4 * (0.25)

now, let's think about the dimes. one dime is worth 10 cents. how much would (x) dimes be worth?

once you have both values, add them together to get the full expression.
