Question 1158525: Wendell didn't make it in Nashville. Now he only has $12 in nickels and dimes left to his name-barely enough to pay for a bus ticket back home. If Wendell has 3 times as many nickels as dimes, how many dimes does he have? Answer by mananth(16949) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Wendell only has $12 in nickels and dimes
Let Wendell have x dimes
If Wendell has 3 times as many nickels as dimes, how many dimes does he have?
Number of nickels = 3x
dime 10 c
nickel 5c
10x+5*3x = 1200 ( $12=1200 c)
25x = 1200
x= 48 number of dimes
