Answer 2

Ari has 14 pennies.

Explanation:

Number Value Total value

Pennies p $0.01 0.01p

Nickels (22 - p) $0.05 $(22 - p)0.05

Total 22 - $0.54

Since Ari has total value of the coins = $0.54

0.01p + (22 - p)0.05 = 0.54

0.01p - 0.05p + 1.1 = 0.54

-0.04p = -0.56

p =
`(0.56)/(0.04)`

p = 14

Therefore, total number of pennies Ari has = 14
