Question

Michael has a jar of dimes and nickels there are 152 dimes and nickels in the jar that total $11

Answer 1

Michael has 84 nickels and 68 dimes in a jar.

Explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

Let d = number of dimes

n + d = 152

5n + 10d = 1100

(5n + 10d = 1100)/5

n + 2d = 220

- n + d = 152

d = 68

n + 68 = 152

- 68 - 68

n = 84

Michael has 84 nickels and 68 dimes in a jar.
