A. Write an expression that represents the total number of quarters you take with you when you go shopping.

B. How much money do you have left?

[20 + (0.4*20)] = 28 quarters

$3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial number of quarters = 20

Quarters in room = 40%

Hence, Numbe of quarters in room = 0.4 * 20 = 8

Total number of quarters taken for shopping :

(Initial amount + Numbe of quarters in room)

(20 + 8) = 28 quarters

50% of quarters was spent on shopping :

0.5 * 28 = 14 quarters

Total left :

28 - 14 = 14

Quarters left in dollars :

1 quarter = 25 cent = 0.25 dollars

14 * $0.25 = $3.5
