Question

Krista has a pocket full of nickels and quarters that makes $3.55. If she has a total of 27 coins in her pocket, how many are nickels and how many are quarters?

Answer 1

Look down

Explanation:

Two equations

x = Quarters

y = Nickles

25x + 5y = 355 -- 1

x + y = 27 -- 2

5x + 5y = 135 -- 2

20x = 200

x = 10

sub in 2

10 + y = 27

y = 17

x = 10

Quarters equal 10
