Math Problem Statement

Angel finds some nickels and quarters in his piggy bank. How many coins does he have if he has 9 nickels and 6 quarters? How many coins does he have if he has xx nickels and yy quarters?

Solution

Problem 1: Known Quantities

Angel has 9 nickels and 6 quarters.

To calculate the total number of coins: Total Coins=Number of Nickels+Number of Quarters\text{Total Coins} = \text{Number of Nickels} + \text{Number of Quarters} Total Coins=9+6=15\text{Total Coins} = 9 + 6 = 15

Thus, Angel has 15 coins.


Problem 2: General Formula for xxxx nickels and yyyy quarters

If Angel has xxxx nickels and yyyy quarters, the total number of coins can be expressed as: Total Coins=xx+yy\text{Total Coins} = xx + yy


If you provide specific values for xxxx and yyyy, we can calculate the exact total. Let me know if you'd like further clarifications or examples!
