Question 956446: a jar is filled with 100 coins all of which are nickels and dimes the change in the jar is worth $6.75 how many coins are nickels and how many are dimes?

n = number of nickels
d = number of dimes
n + d = 100
5n + 10d = 675
10n + 10d = 1000
-5n - 10d = -675
----------------
5n = 325
n = 65
There are 65 nickels and 35 dimes.
