In our maths class today, our maths teacher gave us a book with many tricky questions. This was one of the equations or questions we had to answer. "Titus has 13 coins in his hands. The coins are a mixture of $5 cent and $20 cent pieces. In total, they are worth 1.55.
What are the coins?" If you are wondering how I figured it out, this it what I did.
- First of all I thought what can make thirteen, because in the question, it says that there are thirteen coins. So I went 6+7=13. 6x $20 cents=$1.20 and 7x $5 cents equals 35 cents. I added the $1.20 and 35 cents together and it was a total of $1.55! It was tricky to figure it out at first, but when I used this strategy, it became more easier!

ReplyDeleteWell it was hard figuring out those questions but most of them were easy because we already knew what to do to figure out the answers. Well I thought the one with the coins were hard, what did you think was hard?
Well keep up the good work
