Question 992414: Travis has a total of 31 coins consisting of nickels and quarters. The total value of the coins is $3.15. How many of each type of coin does he have?

n = number of nickels
q = number of quarters
n + q = 31
5n + 25q = 315
Multiply the first equation by 25.
25n + 25q = 775
-(5n + 25q = 315)
--------------------
20n = 460
n = 23
Travis has 23 nickels and 8 quarters.
