Asked by Michael

Mike had a jar of nickels that had five more nickels than he originally thought. If the total amount of nickels was $4.35, how many nickels did Mike think he had originally?
Answered by Ms. Sue
4.35/0.05 = 87 nickels

87 - 5 = _______ nickels
Answered by John
Divide 4.35 by .05 to get the number of nickels.

Then relate that back to the problem.

Do you need to add or subtract 5 nickels to get the answer?

How you took 0.05, why to devide that by 0.05
