Answer:
A. 55 dimes and 165 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The number of pennies in the Jar = 220,
∵ There are 3 quarters for every 4 pennies,
i.e. 4 pennies = 3 quarters,
⇒ 1 penny = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] quarter
⇒ 220 pennies = [tex]220\times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{660}{4}[/tex]
= 165 quarter.
Therefore, there are 165 quarters.
Now, there is 1 dime for every 3 quarters,
i.e. Â 3 quarters = 1 dime
⇒ 1 quarter = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] dime,
⇒ 165 quarters = [tex]\frac{165}{3}[/tex] = 55 dimes.
Therefore, there are 55 dimes.
Option 'A' is correct.
