I have found a dimes that were not defaced are they worth anything?

The Dimes are from 1968 and 1985 and the dates on each are either mixed up as in a Zigzag pattern and the 1985 one has the five almost gone into the edge.

yes they would be worth something if they are irregular when printed
if they were just damaged by something after printing then no they are just worth a dime

I have 90 pounds of mixed change… Quarters, nickles, dimes, etc. How much (on average) money do I have in my

How much total money do I have if I have 90 pounds of random mixed change. Quarters, nickles, Dimes and pennys???

You need to know the weight of each piece – how much does a single penny weigh?

If it’s all pennies, then, how many Pennies would you have?

Do the same for nickles, dimes and Quarters. Add the four numbers (how many, not how much) and divide by four.

Now multiply by the average value to get the total value.

Come to think of it, you could average the weight of the four coins then divide that into 90 lbs. Should give you the same answer.

Math Word Problem With Nickles and Dimes: How many dimes do you have?

You have a collection of nickels and dimes that is worth $5.65. If the number of Dimes are doubled and the number of Nickels were increased by 8, the value of the coins would be $10.45. How many dimes do you have?

Well, I’ll walk you through it.

1) If you add 8 to the number of nickles, the value increases by 40 cents, this gives you $6.05

2) So, subtract that value from the 10.45 getting $4.40. This means that when the amount of dimes are doubled, you add 4.40

3) So to get $4.40, you need to add 44 dimes. This is the answer.

—- Answer = 44 dimes —-

What is the probability that three tails do not come up on a throw of three dimes?

What is the probability that three tails do not come up on a throw of three Dimes?
I dont know how to set up and answer this one, any help would be appreciated

The probability that all three coins come up tails is 0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125
Call this P(x)

P(not x) can be calculated by 1 – P(x)
P(not x) is the probability that they don’t all come up tails

So in this case 1 – 0.125

Your answer is 0.875

There are some quarters and dimes in a piggy bank. There are 10 more Quarters than the number of dimes, and their ratio is 3/2. How many quarters and Dimes are there?

Writing the statements as equations yields

Q = 10 + D

Q / D = 3 / 2

Substituting the first equation into the second gives us

( 10 + D ) / D = 3 / 2

Cross-multiply to get

( 2 ) ( 10 +D ) = ( 3 ) ( D )
20 + 2 D = 3 D
20 = D

There are 20 dimes and 30 quarters.

Is there a law that businesses cannot refuse to accept a $5 roll of dimes?

I went to a club last night and they wouldn’t accept a roll of dimes, saying they couldn’t use them. In this economy, how smart is that?

No there is no law. Businesses can accept what they want on any terms they specify. Hell the banks would barely accept a roll of Dimes unless you have an account there. I once got 1 cent charged to my account on a short roll of Pennies.

10, 20, 25, 35, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, etc….

We know that we can get either 10 or 25. So,

10a+25b=x , where a and b are whole, real numbers.
