Solve the word problem below. Show all your work. Liam needs 90 cents to buy a smoothie. He finds 2 quarters and 8 pennies. How much more money does Liam need?

First, let's determine how much money Liam currently has with the coins he found: Liam has: - 2 quarters: Since each quarter is worth 25 cents, that gives us: \( 2 \times 25 = 50 \) cents. - 8 pennies: Each penny is worth 1 cent, therefore: \( 8 \times 1 = 8 \) cents. Now, let's add these amounts together to find out Liam’s total: \( 50 \) cents (from quarters) + \( 8 \) cents (from pennies) = \( 58 \) cents. Liam needs a total of 90 cents for the smoothie, so we now find out how much more he needs: \( 90 \) cents (total needed) - \( 58 \) cents (amount he has) = \( 32 \) cents. So, Liam needs 32 more cents to buy the smoothie.
