Carlos has some gold quarters. If he spends them in a store, they are worth the regular amount. If he melts them down, he can get $100 per ounce. Each quarter weighs 1/5 of an ounce. How many times more money would he get from melting them down instead of spending them in a store?
How many quarters are in a quarter? ** If he melts them down, five quarters equals $100 because 1 / (1/5) = <<5=5>>5
How much are the quarters worth in a store? ** If he spends those five quarters they are worth $1.25 because 5 x .25 = <<5*.25=1.25>>1.25
How many times more money would he get from melting them down instead of spending them in a store? ** They are worth 80 times more melted down because 100 / 1.25 = <<100/1.25=80>>80
