Answer:
80 pennies
160 nickels
Explanation:
.01p + .05n = 8.80 multiply through by 100
p + 5n = 880
2p = n
substitute 2p for n is the bold equation
p + 5(2p) = 880
p + 10p = 880
11p = 880 Divide both sides by 11
p = 80
2p = n
2(80) = n
160 = n
Check:
(.01)(80) + (.05)(160) = 8.80
0.80 + 8 = 8.80
8.80 = 8.80 Checks
