The value of an uncirculated min-state '65, 1950 jefferson nickel minted in denver is 3/4 the value a 1945 nickel minted in phildaphia in similar condition.
together the total value of the two coins is $54.
what is the value of each coin?
what is the value of the 1945 nickel in dollars?
what is the value of 1950 nickel in dollars?
:
let n = the value of the '45 nickel
then
.75 n = the value of the '50 nickel
:
"together the total value of the two coins is $54."
n + .75n = 54
1.75n = 54
n = 54/1.75
n = $30.86 for the '45 nickel
and
.75(30.86) = $23.14 for '50 nickel
