jeremy has a piggy bank with 126 coins in it if the ratio of quaters to dines to pennies is 5 : 3 : 6, how many of each type of coin does jeremy have?

Step-by-step explanation:

126 coins ... quarters to dimes to pennies ... ratio 5:3:6 ... added = 14

so quarters are 5/14 of the total coins, dimes are 3/14 of the total coins, and pennies are 6/14 of the total coins.

we have 126 total coins

quarters are 5/14 of 126 ... 5/14 (126) = 630/14 = 45 ... 45 quarters

dimes are 3/14 of 126 ... 3/14 (126) = 378/14 = 27 ... 27 dimes

pennies are 6/14 of 126 ... 6/14 (126) = 756/14 = 54 ... 54 pennies

out of (5 + 3 + 6) = 14 coins, 5 quarters, 5 dimes, 6 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

so there is 45 quarters

27 dimes

54 pennies

5/14 x 126 = 45 quarters

3/14 x 126 = 27 dimes

6/14 x 126 = 54 pennies
