We will set up two equations with two unknowns here. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let dime = d, which is worth $0.1 each
\n" ); document.write( "Let nickels = n, which is worth $0.05 each\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$0.1d + $0.05n = $2.75 - equation (1)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2n - equation (2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute d = 2n into the first equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$0.1(2n) + $0.05n = $2.75
\n" ); document.write( "$0.2n + $0.05n = $2.75
\n" ); document.write( "$0.25n = $2.75
\n" ); document.write( "n = 11\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d = 2n = 22\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She has 11 nickels and 22 dimes. \r
