kevin and randy have a jar containing 52 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. The total value of coins in the jar is $10.00. How many of each type of coin do they have?
***
let x=number of nickels in the jar
52-x= number of quarters in the jar
.05x+.25(52-x)=10.00
.05x+13-.25x=10
.20x=3
x=15
52-x=37
number of nickels in the jar=15
number of quarters in the jar=37
