Well no wonder, that’s really 2 math problems. lol
by process of elimination it has to be A (and I cannot add 30 quarters in my head eaither)
50 dimes is 5 dollars. 5 times $1.50 has to be more than 5. Can’t be B.
70 nickles is less than 50 dimes, which was too little. Can’t be C.
90 pennies can’t even make 1 dollar. Can’t be D.
Must be A.
If a Euro is worth $1.50, five Euros is worth what?
Her choices are A.) 30 quarters, B.) 50 dimes, C.) 70 nickels, and D.) 90 pennies.

Ummm ... lessee ...
1 Euro = $1.50 ... 5 Euros = $1.50 x 5 = $7.50 ...
90 pennies = 90 cents ... ummmm NO ...
70 nickels = 70 x .05 = $3.50 ... ummmm NO ...
50 dimes = 50 x .10 = $5.00 ... ummmm NO ...
30 quarters = 30 x .25 = $7.50 = the price of the 1017 page healthcare bill we can use if we run out of toilet paper ... CORRECTOMUNDO !!!
Doing it the long way is tricky. Doing it the short way is easy. You know 5 Euros is worth at least 5 dollars. Obviously, it’s not D. Everyone knows 90 pennies is less than even one dollar. It can’t be C either because...process of elimination.
She got caught up in the minor details.
I’m surprised she didn’t pick:
E) all the above
