A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are four as many quarters as pennies, two times as many as nickels as pennies, and seven times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than nickels?
7 times as many
5 times as many
2 times as many
10 times as many
Correct Answer : A
This problem asks us to compare the number of dimes to nickels.
If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 4p
Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p
Number of dimes in the bottle =7(2p)=14p
To find the number of dimes the child has than nickels, we use the ratio:
\(\frac{Dimes}{nickels} =\frac {14p}{2p}\ =\ 7\)
Thus, there are 7 times as many dimes as nickels in the box.

To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations as follows:
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows
[2(6+3*9)]
We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 3 * 9 = 27. The expression becomes
[2(6+27)]
Then, we carry out the addition of 6+27=33. Then, the expression yields
[2(33)]=2*33=66
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 6/2=3.
Thus, the expression is reduced into
The expression reduces into 22.
