Question 154010: Joe has a collection of nickels and dimes that is worth $5.65. If the number of dimes were doubled and the number of nickels were increased by 8, the value of the coins would be $10.45. How many dimes does he have?
According to my calculations the answer should be 88 dimes. I came to this because originally there should have been 44 dimes=$4.40 and 25 nickels=$1.25 which would make the original equation of $5.65. So if I had 88 dimes=$8.80 and 33 nickels=$1.65 this totals $10.45.
