Let x = the value of the 1945 nickel, then the value of the 950 nickel is \"%284%2F3%29x\" and their sum is $28, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B%284%2F3%29x+=+28\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2F3%29x+=+28\" Multiply both sides by \"3%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "The value of the 1945 nickel is $12.00
\n" ); document.write( "The value of the 950 is \"%284%2F3%29%2812%29\" = $16.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
