Rewatch the video as needed to answer the questions below.

What types of coins do you see? Select all correct answers.

What do you think is the total value of the coins?

Let p be the number of pennies and q be the number of quarters.

If the total value of the coins is \$68.00, fill in the blanks to write an equation representing the value of coins in the picture:
0.25_______ +_______ p = _______

Let p be the number of pennies and q be the number of quarters.

If there are 560 total coins in the video, write an equation to represent the total number of coins.

Let the number of quarters be represented by the y-axis and the number of pennies by the x-axis.

Graph your system of equations on the coordinate plane.

  • Click the graph tab.
  • Click on the graph background to add a point. Add two points to create a graph. Drag a point or type in x and y coordinates to edit its position. Click on a point to delete it.
Determine the number of each coin in the video.

There were _______ quarters and _______ pennies.
