Accepted Solution
A:
the total number of pennies she has - 3 x 50 = 150 value of penny - $ 0.01 value she has from pennies - $0.01 x 150 = $1.50
total number of nickels she has - 4 x40 = 160 value of nickel - $ 0.05 value she has from nickels - $0.05 x 160 = $8
total number of dimes she has - 5 x 50 = 250 value of dime - $ 0.10 value she has from dimes - $0.10 x 250 = $25
total number of quarters she has - 6 x 40 = 240 value of quarter - $ 0.25 value she has - $ 0.25 x 240 = $ 60
total amount of money she has = 1.50 + 8 + 25 + 60 money she has = $ 94.50 correct answer is D
