Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 133 nickels
• 399 dimes

Explanation:

If there are 3 times as many dimes as nickels, the coins can be grouped as 3 dimes and 1 nickel, worth $0.35 per group. Then the total number of groups is ...

$46.55/$0.35 = 133

That means there are 133 nickels and 3×133 = 399 dimes.
