The snack machine at the mall is broken. It will not take any quarters. It only takes dimes and nickels. A snack costs 45 cents. If Antonio has 15 cents in nickels and enough dimes to purchase a snack, how many dimes does he have?

Respuesta :

Antonio have 3 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of snack = 45 cents

Worth of nickels = 15 cents

Worth of dime = x

[tex]x+15=45\\x=45-15\\x=30[/tex]

Therefore,

Antonio has 30 cents worth of dimes.

10 cents = 1 dimes

30 cents = [tex]\frac{30}{10}[/tex]

30 cents = 3 dimes

Antonio have 3 dimes.
