Tom found some foreign coins in a box. The coins were marked m, a, t, h his uncle told him that each letter on the coin has a different value in $us. M = $10, a=$5, t=$50 and h=$100. If Tom found 3m coins 5t coins 2h coins and 7a coins. How much $us will he receive for all 17 coins?

He will receive $515 for the 17 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate how much will be received for 17 coins, with each coin having a specific value in the US currency.

Obviously, there are four coins, so let's proceed to get the amount he gets per type of coins.

For the m coin, she has 3 pieces. One m coin has a value of $10, then the amount of coins she makes on the m coins will be 3 * 10 = $30

For the a coin, he has 7 pieces. One m coin has a value of $5, then the amount of coins she makes on the a coins will be 7 * 5 = $35

For the t coin, he has 5 pieces. One t coin has a value of $50, then the amount of coins she makes on the t coins will be 5 * 50 = $250

For the h coin, she has 2 pieces. One h coin has a value of $100, then the amount of coins she makes on the h coins will be 2 * 100 = $200

The total amount made on the 17 coins would thus be mathematically equal to;

Amount made on m coins + Amount made on a coins + Amount made on t coins + Amount made on h coins

The total amount = $30 + $35 + $250 + $200 = $515

Tom will receive $515 for all 17 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to calculate how much $us will be received for all 17 coins,

There are four coins, m, a, t, h

M = $10

, a = $5,

t = $50 and

h = $100

For the M coin, she has 3 pieces. One m coin is equivalent $10,

then the amount of coins she makes on the m coins will be 3 * 10 = $3

For the a coin, he has 7 pieces. One a coin is equivalent $5,

the amount of coins she makes on the a coins will be 7 * 5 = $35

For the t coin, he has 5 pieces. One t coin is equivalent $50, then the amount of coins she makes on the t coins will be 5 * 50 = $250

For the h coin, she has 2 pieces. One h coin is equivalent $100, then the amount of coins she makes on the h coins will be 2 * 100 = $200

The total amount made on the 17 coins is equal to,

Total m coins + Total a coins + Total t coins + Total h coins

The total amount = $30 + $35 + $250 + $200

= $515

He will receive $515 for all 17 coins
