Rob has dimes and quarters in a jar the ratio of dimes to quarters is 3 to 7 the jar contains 47 quarters what is the total amount of money in the jar.

Summarize given information. For every 7 quarters, theres three dimes. So divide 47 by 7 and multiply by 3 to find the amount of dimes. If there is a remainder left, further action must be taken.

47 / 7 = 6 (with remainder left over)  

In this case, only 42 would work therefore there are 5 extra quarters left. based on the number 6, there are 18 dimes and 42 quarters. Based on further calculations, of the five quarters left, there should be 2 dimes. So, the amount should become 20 dimes and 47 quarters leaving the percentage of 2.2 quarters per dime in this instant.

20 Dimes = $2

47 Quarters = $11.75

11.75 + 2 = 13.75

So there is about $13.75 in the jar.

the answer is 99.
