John pays for a candy bar with 4 quarters, 3 dimes, and a nickel. He got 4 cents back in change. How many cents did the candy bar cost? Let's answer step by step:
The quarters came to 4 * 25 = 100 cents. The dimes were worth 3 * 10 = 30 cents. The nickel was 5 * 1 = 5 cents. So he paid 100 + 30 + 5 = 135 cents. Since he got 4 cents as change it cost 135 - 4 = 131 cents. The answer: 131.
