A quarter is worth five nickels because .25 / .05 = 5. She gets 100 nickels from the bank because 20 x 5 = 100. 20 of the nickels are iron nickels because 100 x .20 = 20. 80 of the nickels are regular because 100 - 20 = 80. The iron nickels are worth $60 because 20 x 3 = 60. The regular nickels are worth $4 because 80 x .05 = 4. Her money is now worth $64 because 60 + 4 = 64.
The answer: 64

Reasoning and answer: Saly saves 1 / 2 * $6 / day = $3 / day. Since each year have 365 days, the total amount of money Sally will save in a year is $3 / day * 365 days / year = $1095 / year. Bob saves 1 / 2 * $4 / day = $2 / day. The total amount of money Bob will have saved in a year is $2 / day * 365 days / year = $730 / year. In total, Sally and Bob would have saved $730 + $1095 = $1825.
