Use the five-step plan to solve the following problem. Joey has nickels and dimes in his pocket. The number of dimes is 3 times the number of nickels. If Joey has 11 nickels, what is the total value of the money he has in his pocket?
Joey has 11 nickels so from "The number of dimes is 3 times the number of nickels." we know joey has 33 dimes. 11 nickels is 55 cents. 33 dimes is 3 dollars and 30 cents in total 3 dollars and 85 cents
