Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 5-piso: 21
• 1-piso: 31

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of higher-value coins. Then the total value is ...

5x +1(52 -x) = 136

4x +52 = 136 . . . . . . . . simplify

4x = 84 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 52

x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Carlo has 21 5-piso coins, and 31 1-piso coins.
