Question 653200: I am struggling with how to explain how to solve this problem:
A collection of coins consists of dimes and nickels. The number of dimes is two more than
the twice the number of nickels. The value of the collection is $2.70. How many dimes are
in the collection?
Here is what I have tried so far:
d=2n+2 (this is the relationship between the number of dimes and nickels.)
.10d + .05n= $2.70 (this is the value of the coins)
10d +05n= 270 (Here we multiply by 100 and clear the decimals.)
10d(2n+2)+05=270
The purpose of the assignment is to work the problem and explain how I did it. I am stuck!
