Akio found 18 cents in his pocket. He found 6 more coins in his pocket. Altogether he has 73 cents. What were the 6 coins he found in his other pocket?

1 quarter, 1 dime, and 4 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract the 18 cents that were found in the pocket from the total amount of 73 cents to get the total amount of the 6 other coins:

73-18=55.

So the total amount of the 6 coins equals 55 cents.

The quarter = 25 cents

The dime = 10 cents

The 4 nickels = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20

1 quarter, 1 dime, and 4 nickels add up to the necessary total of 6 coins and when you add up the total cents of the quarter, dime, and nickels, 25 + 10 + 20 it comes to the sum of 55, which is how much the 6 coins are worth in total.

So therefore, the answer is 1 quarter, 1 dime, and 4 nickels.
