To calculate how many cents Alice has, we will determine the total value of her quarters and nickels.
-
Value of the quarters:
- Alice has 5 quarters.
- Each quarter is worth 25 cents.
- Therefore, the total value of the quarters is: \[ 5 \times 25 = 125 \text{ cents} \]
-
Value of the nickels:
- Alice has 2 nickels.
- Each nickel is worth 5 cents.
- Therefore, the total value of the nickels is: \[ 2 \times 5 = 10 \text{ cents} \]
-
Total value:
- Now, we add the value of the quarters and the value of the nickels: \[ 125 + 10 = 135 \text{ cents} \]
Thus, the total amount of money Alice has is 135 cents.
The answer is: 135¢.
