Question

Matt has exactly $1.60 in his pocket. He only has nickels and dimes. There are twice as many nickels as dimes. What is the number of coins in Matt's pocket?

Answer 1

24 coins

Explanation:

We give the dimes a unknown number like y since the nickels are twice as much we give it 2y we multiply the numbers with their value and form an equation like 2y×5+y×10=160 find the value of y then get value of 2y+y to get the number of coins
