5 dollars worth of nickels is 100 coins. The weight of one US nickel is 5.0 grams so 100 would weigh 500 gm, or half a kilo. The weight of one Canadian nickel is 3.95 gm so 100 would weigh 395 gm.

Coins are weighed in grams so it's necessary to convert US pounds to grams. Each pound is 453.592 gm so 35 pounds is 15875.72 gm.

A US nickel weighs 5.00 gm so 3 pounds would be 15875.72 / 5.00 = 3175 nickels, rounded to the nearest whole number. Each coin is worth 5 cents so the total value would be 3175*5 = 15875 cents, or $158.75

Modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so the calculations are 15875.72 / 3.95 = 4019 coins worth $200.95

Coins are measured in metric units so pounds, a US measure, have to be converted to grams: One pound is 453.6 gm so 5 lbs = 2268 gm.

US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so 5 lbs would be 2268 / 5 = 454 coins, rounded to the nearest whole number. Each nickel is 5 cents so the value would be 454*5 = 2270 cents, or $22.70

Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so the calculations are 2268 / 3.95 = 574 coins (rounded), or $28.70.

You need to start with the following information:

  • Coins are weighed in grams. US nickels weigh 5 gm; current Canadian nickels are 3.95 gm
  • A US pound is 453.6 gm so 50 pounds is the same as 453.6*50 = 22680 grams

That means 100 pounds:

  • of US nickels is 22680 / 5 = 4536 nickels; the value is US$226.80
  • of Canadian nickels is 22680 / 3.95 = 5742 nickels (rounded to the nearest whole number), worth C$287.10
