Question

jennifer has a plastic bottle filled with 264 coins pennies and nickels that have a total of $4.36 write and solve an equation how how many each coin she has

Answer 1

Explanation:

p = pennies value = 1 p

n = nickels = 264 - p value = 5 ( 264-p)

Summed, the values = 436

p + 5 ( 264-p) = 436

p + 1320 - 5p = 436

-4p = - 884

p = 221 pennies the rest 264 -221 = 43 nickels
