There are also 0.50 cent pieces, no info on dimes and half dollars, so without more information the only possible answer is no we cannot solve it without more information, All we can say is there is 1.70 made from half dollars, dimes, and nickles but without more information the problem cannot be solved
The problem stated in the thumbnail should accurately reflect the problem being solved in the video. This thumbnail does not do that, and therefore it is a bad thumbnail. The problem as stated in the thumbnail doesn't mention dimes, so if you're just reading the thumbnail (as I did), there isn't enough info to obtain a singular solution. However, there is enough info to obtain a range of solutions. Kim has (1.70 - 0.1d)/(0.05) nickels, where d (dimes) is an integer within the range 0
I thought the problem was being expressed in the first words, which were "can you solve". The answer would be either "no", or "not without more information"....since we had no clue as to how many dimes she might have. Turns out I was wrong again, and the wording was only insufficient to someone like me, reading literally and carefully. BTW -- don't take me wrong....I'm only here because I really like these videos and the instruction.
No, coz I'm a Brit and I don't know what these coins are worth. How about….what is 12s + 14s +9D + 7D…in the old pounds shillings and pence? No? Neither have I.
Answer: 34 nickels ---------- The total amount of money Kim has=$5.95 The 3 dollars and 5 quarters that Kim has add up to 3+(5x25)= $4.25. The remaining money Kim has= 5.95-4.25 =$1.70 The number of nickels that makes $1.70= 1.70➗ 5= 34 34 nickels (Assuming that Kim had no pennies and dimes)
@@richardl6751 he said it, but that isn’t how the question was written. You could answer “assuming she doesn’t have dimes or fifty cent pieces, she would have 34 nickels.” I thought the video might provide some way of representing the range of possible nickel and dime combinations that I wasn’t remembering because it’s been ~4 decades since I took a math class.
$1.70 worth of nickels assuming no dimes or $0.50 pieces.
Kim has $1.70 in nickels which is 34 nickels. Did it in my head in just a few seconds. Don’t need an 11 minute plus explanation.
got 34 5.95 - 4.25 = 1.70 20 X 5 = 1.00 + 14 X 5 = .70 20 + 14 = 34
thanks for the fun.

The $ is subdivided into cents :
1$ = 100 Cents
1 Cent {penny} = $0.01
5 Cents {nickel} = $0.05
10 Cents {dime} = $0.10
25 Cents {quarter} = $0.25
50 Cents {half-dollar} = $0.50
Kim -> $5.95 convert into cents x100 --> $5.95 x 100 = 595 dollar-cents
5 cents is 1 nickel
595 cents : 5 = 500/5 + 90/5 + 5/5 = 119 nickels
$3.00 = 3.00 x 100 = 300 cents
5 quarters x 25 = 125 cents
(595 - (300 +125)) / 5 = 34 nickels✅
I guess we are just supposed to assume she didn't have any dimes?
Yeah, that's right because no dimes were mentioned. DUH!
🤔😉😄😄😀
34 pieces of nickels worth $1.7

595 cents minus 300 minus 125 = 170 cents In nickels (5 cents?) that is 170 / 5 = 340 / 10 = 34 nickels.
4.25 + 0.05x = 5.95
0.05x = 1.70
x = 34

Answer: 34 nickels
----------
The total amount of money Kim has=$5.95
The 3 dollars and 5 quarters that Kim has add up to 3+(5x25)=
$4.25.
The remaining money Kim has= 5.95-4.25
=$1.70
The number of nickels that makes $1.70=
1.70➗ 5= 34
34 nickels
(Assuming that Kim had no pennies and dimes)
=34 nickls
How many dimes does she have?
34 nickles
170/5=34
34 nickels
34
I like this guy and wish he was around when I went yo caveman school (before internet.)
The answer can’t be determined because it is not known how many dimes Kim has.
He said, "no dimes as well" near the beginning.
My answer was $1.70 in nickels assuming no dimes were half dollars.
@@richardl6751some people just solve it without watching the video.

@@JeanineMeier Yes, he does sometimes leave out details and then gets long winded. ~4 decades would put you close to my age,
How many 50 cent pieces?
How many 50 cent pieces are there in $1.70? 🤔😊😄😃😀
