Let

represent the number of dimes. Then the number of nickels is

. So the amount of money, in cents that Delano has is

. Likewise, Nadine has

. Now if Delano gives up 4 dimes, he gives up 40 cents, so he will then have

cents. Whereas if Nadine receives 4 dimes, she will receive 40 cents and she will have

cents. But we are told that these two amounts are equal, so:

Just solve for

to get the number of dimes Delano started with. Figuring Nadine's nickels is then a simple matter of adding 7. Then multiply 10 � times Delano's dimes and 5� times Nadine's nickels to get the amounts of money.
