15) James’s wallet has dimes and nickels. Write an expression to
represent the total amount of money in James’s wallet (in
WWW.CUEMATH.COM
dollars) of x is the number of dimes and y
is the number of
nickels.
Solution:
The number of dimes is x and each dime is of worth $0.10. So the
total worth of dimes is 0.10x.
The number of nickels is y and each quarter is of worth $0.05. So
the total worth of quarters is 0.05y.
So the algebraic expression that represents the total money in
the piggy bank is 0.10x + 0.05y dollars.
