Our school doesn't follow system of equations, rather a divisive pattern system. From that:
30/2 = 15
15(10)+15(5) = 1.50 + .75 = 2.25
2.25=/=2.50

20(10)+10(5) = 2.00 + .50 = 2.50
2.50 = 2.50

She has 10 nickels.

So relatively....divide by half and start the input/output from there, continuing to adjust to find the answer you're looking for.
