MONEY
PROBLEMS
Coin Problems consist of problems about metal coins such
as pennies (1/100 of a dollar), nickels (5 cents), dimes (10
cents), quarter (25 cents), half dollar (50 cents) 5-centavo
coins, 10-centavo coins, 25-centavo coins, 50-centavo coins,
1-peso coins, 5-peso coins, 10-peso coins, etc.

The topic also includes paper money. Any problem in which


a money value can be assigned to objects can be solved using
the same techniques as solving a coin problem. Coin
problems and paper money can be solved by using the values
of the coins and bills.

of quarters and nickels. If the
total amount of this change
(small denominations of money)
is $2.95, how many of each kind

pennies as he has dimes and
eight more nickels than dimes.
If the total amount of these

DISTANCE
PROBLEMS
DISTANCE FORMULA:
Distance = Rate x time
If you want to find the distance covered by a person,
vehicle, or any moving object, just multiply the rate of
speed and the time spent in travelling.
If you want to know the time (t) if the distance travelled and
the rate of speed are given, just divide distance by the rate. 𝒕
= 𝑫/𝒓
If you want to know the rate of speed, given the distance
travelled and the time, just divide the distance by the time. 𝒓
= 𝑫/𝒕
