Question

Bennie the banker has 35 coins that have a value of $4.35. Some of the coins Bennie has are

nickels and the rest are quarters.
Problem
How many nickels does Bennie have?

Answer 1

22 nickles or 13 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

`x=nickels\\ y=quarters`

`(x+y=35).05`

`.05x+.25y=4.35`

`.05x+.05y=1.75`

`-(.05x+.25y=4.35)`

`-.2y=-2.6`

`y=13`

`x+13=35`

`x=22`

`22\ nickels\ or\ 13\ quarters`

I hope this helps you
