Question

Stephanie has the same number of dimes and nickels. She has $6.10 in all. Write an equation that you could use to find the number of dimes and nickels Stephanie has.

Answer 1

The equation is

15x = 610

Explanation:

A dime is 10 cents while a nickel is 5 cents

$6.10 is same as 610 cents

Let the number of dimes and number of nickels be x

10x + 5x = 610

15x = 610
