How many nickels equal 95?
5 nickels is a quarter. 15 nickels is 75 cents. Four more nickels makes it to 95 cents, for a total of 19 nickels. That makes sense, because 20 nickels would be a dollar, and you are only one nickel short of that.
How many nickel are in 17 dollars?
1 nickel = $0.05 $1.00 = 1/0.05 nickels = 20 nickels $17.00 = 17 x 20 = 340 nickels.
How many dimes and nickels does 1.25 have?
You will need at least one nickel. With one nickel you would need 12 dimes to make $1.25. If you have more nickels, then subtract one dime for every two additional nickels you have, so if you have 5 nickels you will need 10 dimes.
How many nickels are in 4.70?
One nickel is equal to 0.05 dollars. Therefore, 4.70 dollars is equal to 4.70 / 0.05 = 94 nickels.
