Question

miles has 25 coins In his pocket. Some are Nichols and some are dimes. He has a total of $1.65 how many of each type of coin does he have?​

Answer 1

▪ Answer:

n = 17

d = 8

▪ Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there !

1 nickel = 5c

1 dime = 10c

$1.65 = 165c

n + d = 25 => n = 25 - d

5n + 10d = 165

replace n

5(25 - d) + 10d = 165

125 - 5d + 10d = 165

5d = 165 - 125

5d = 40

d = 8 (dimes)

n = 25 - d

n = 25 - 8

n = 17 (nickels)

Good luck !
