Santiago collects 435 cents in nickels. How many nickels does he collect? (I think I'm dumb for being in fourth grade, and not knowing this.)

Respuesta :

87 nickels because 435/5=87

Let n=number of nickels.  And since each nickel is worth 5 cents:

5n=435  divide both sides by 5

n=87

So Santiago collected 87 nickels.
