Question

A. If you have $2.25, write an equation in standard form that models the number of nickels x and dimes y that you could have.

b. If you have 25 nickels, how many dimes do you have?

Answer 1

$2.25

5 x 21 = 1.05 10 x 12 = 1.20

Nickels: 21 Dimes: 12

1.05 + 1.20 = 2.25



If I had 25 nickels, I would have 12 dimes, and a extra 5 cents.
