A jar on the family's counter contains change they've been saving a trip to the ice cream shop. There are 123 pennies, 85 nickels, 35 dimes, and a number of quarters. All five family members get a double scoop, which costs $3 each. After the trip, they have 48 cents left over. How many quarters were in the jar?
The family spent $15 on ice cream because 5 x 3 = <<5*3=15>>15
They total amount of change they had was $15.48 because 15 + .48 = <<15+.48=15.48>>15.48
They have $1.23 in pennies because 123 x .01 = <<123*.01=1.23>>1.23
They have $4.25 in nickels because 85 x .05 = <<85*.05=4.25>>4.25
They have $3.50 in dimes because 35 x .1 = <<35*.1=3.5>>3.5
Without the quarters they have a total of $8.98 because 1.23 + 4.25 + 3.5 = <<1.23+4.25+3.5=8.98>>8.98
They have $6.5 worth of quarters because 15.48-8.98 = <<15.48-8.98=6.5>>6.5
They have 26 quarters because 6.5 / .25 = <<6.5/.25=26>>26
