  • Coins are weighed in grams. US nickels weigh 5.0 gm; current Canadian nickels are 3.95 gm.
  • A US ounce is 28.35 gm so 2 ounces = 28.35*2 = 56.70 grams

That means 2 US ounces of:

  • American nickels is 56.70 / 5.0 = 11 coins (rounded to the nearest whole number); the value is US$0.55
  • Canadian nickels is 56.70 / 3.95 = 14 coins (also rounded); the value is CDN$0.70

You need to start with the following information:

  • $2 worth of nickels is 40 coins.
  • Coins are weighed in grams. US nickels weigh 5 gm; current Canadian nickels are 3.95 gm

Then 40 US nickels would weigh 40*5 = 200 gm, while 40 Canadian nickels weigh 40*3.95 = 158 gm
