Question 32239: Cindy had $6.05 in quarters and nickels. How many of each coin does she have if there are 53 coins in all?
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let number of nickels be "x".
Value of nickels is "5x" cents
Number of quarters is "53-x"
Value of quarters is 25(53-x)="1325-25x" cents
EQUATION:
value + value = 605 cents
5x+1325-25x=605
-20x=-720
x=36 (number of nickels)
53-x=17 (number of quarters)
Cheers,
