Lizzy: Nick has 35 quarters. 2/5 of the quarters are state quarters, and 50 percent of the state quarters are Pennsylvania. How many Pennsylvania state quarters does Nick have?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
State quarters:35(2 / 5) = 14 quarters. Pennsylvania:14(.50) = 7 quarters. Final answer: 7.
