Question
Let's assume your secondary education has led you to rob armored cars. In your latest heist, if you were faced with bags of coins that had the same mass, which bag would you take: pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters? (That is, which bag contains the most money?) Important data: a penny has a mass of 3.09g, a nickel has a mass of 4 88g, a dime weighs 2.258. and a quarter weighs 5.68g. (Show your work.) Hint: Determine the monetary density of each coin. 4. What would be the effect on your calculated value of the density of water if the "empty" vial had not been completely dried before weighing? Would the value be higher, lower, or have no change? Defend your 5. answer.Explanation / Answer
Ans 4
Mass of penny = 3.09 g
Value of penny = 1 cent = $0.01
Monetary density of penny = value/mass
= $0.01/3.09 g
= $0.00324/gram
Mass of nickel = 4.88 g
Value of nickel = 5 cent = $0.05
Monetary density of nickel = value/mass
= $0.05/4.88 g
= $0.01025/gram
Mass of dime = 2.25 g
Value of dime = 10 cent = $0.10
Monetary density of dime = value/mass
= $0.10/2.25 g
= $0.04444/gram
Mass of quarters = 5.68 g
Value of quarters = 25 cent = $0.25
Monetary density of quarters = value/mass
= $0.25/5.68 g
= $0.04401/gram
Bag with dimes contain highest amount of $0.04444/gram.
This dime bag, I will take.
