Question

A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels,dimes and quarters. There are twice as many quarters as pennies, four times as many nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than quarters?

Answer 1

Answer:19x

Step-by-step explanation:

Take x as the value of pennies

If there are twice as many quarters as pennies then the explanation should be

Pennies =x

Quarters =2x

If there are 4 times as many nickels as pennies then the explanation is

Pennies =x

Nickels =4x

If there are 5 times as many dimes as nickels then the explanation is

Nickels =4x

Dimes=20x

So the values of them all is

Pennies =x

Nickels =4x

Dimes =20x

Quarters =2x

So to get how many more dimes does the child have than quarters you subtract

20x-2x=19x
