Question 551805: there are a total of 26 nickels and dimes in a bank. the value equals $1.65. how many dimes are in the bank?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
26*0.05 + 0.10x = 1.65
1.30 + 0.10x = 1.65
0.10x = 1.65 - 1.30
0.10x = 0.35
x = 0.35/(0.10)
x = 3.5
Since we got a non-integer value, this means that we cannot get $1.65 in the bank. So there must be a typo.
