Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

Total value, 130 nickels and 120 pennies (dollars):

Total value, xx nickels and yy pennies (dollars):

Answer 1

To find the total value in dollars, we need to convert the number of nickels and pennies into dollars.

Each nickel is worth $0.05, so 130 nickels x $0.05/nickel = $6.5.
Each penny is worth $0.01, so 120 pennies x $0.01/penny = $1.2.

Therefore, Fabian has $6.5 + $1.2 = $7.7 in dollars.

For the total value of xx nickels and yy pennies, we would need the specific amounts of xx and yy to calculate the total value in dollars.
