Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out the total value of each option and see which one gives a total of $3.60

For A, 12 nickels + 12 dimes = 12 x $0.05  + 12 x $0.10 = $1.80 ≠ $3.60

For B, 24 nickels + 24 dimes = 24 x $0.05  + 24 x $0.10 = $3.60 (correct)

For C, 36 nickels + 36 dimes = 36 x $0.05  + 36 x $0.10 = $5.40 ≠ $3.60

For D, 48 nickels + 48 dimes = 48 x $0.05  + 48 x $0.10 = $7.20 ≠ $3.60
