If Susan has 60 nickels and dimes. And there are 4 times more nickels than dimes how many nickels and dimes does she have?
---------------
1 times more = 100% more = 2x as many
2 times more = 200% more = 3x as many
3 times more = 300% more = 4x as many
4 times more = 400% more = 5x as many
----
n + d = 60
n = 5d
----
5d + d = 60
d = 10 dimes
n = 50 nickels
