Question

A coin collection is made up of 34 coins, all nickels and dimes. The total value of the collection is $1.90. How many nickels are there?

Answer 1

Hey There the Answer to this is x = nickels

y= dimes

x + y = 34

.05x + .10y= $1.90

-.10x - .10y = -3.40

-.05x + .10y = 1.90

-.05x = -1.50

x = 30 nickels

30 + y = 34

y = 4 dimes

(3,4) And that you get the answer.

Hope it helps!
