, C. 0.10(4x) + 0.05(x) = $1.25 , D. 0.05(4x) + 0.10(x) = $1.25

Answer 1

Explanation:

so he has 4 more nickels then dimes....and if dimes represent x, then his nickels wold be x + 4

nickels are worth 0.05 and dimes are worth 0.10....and he has a total of 1.25...so ur equation would be : B. 0.05(x + 4) + 0.10(x)
