Stepwise calculations:

> US nickels weigh 5 gm each.

> An American pound is 453.6 gm so five pounds would be 5 * 453.6 = 2268 gm.

> 2268 / 5, rounded to the nearest whole number, is 454

> 454 nickels is worth 454 * $0.05 = $22.70

More intuitively:

Because a nickel weighs 5 gm there are as many nickels in 5 pounds as there are grams in 1 pound, or 454 (rounded). So like before, 454 * $0.05 = $22.70
