To determine the total amount of money Janet has, we need to follow these steps:
1. Convert the number of quarters into dollars:
Each quarter is worth [tex]$0.25. Since Janet has 17 quarters, we calculate the value of these quarters in dollars:
\[
17 \text{ quarters} \times \$[/tex]0.25 \text{ per quarter} = \[tex]$4.25
\]
2. Add the value of the quarters to the amount Janet has in bills:
Janet already has $[/tex]13 in bills. We add the value of the quarters we previously calculated to this amount:
[tex]\[
\$4.25 \text{ (from quarters)} + \$13 \text{ (in bills)} = \$17.25
\][/tex]
Therefore, the total amount of money Janet has is $17.25.
