Let y = dimes
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jill has $3.50 in nickels and dimes. If she has 50 coins, how many of each type of coin does she have?
Let x = nickels
Let y = dimes
-----------------------
EQUATIONS:
Quantity: x+y = 50
Value : 5x + 10y = 350
----------------------------
y = 50-x
Substitute:
5x + 10(50-x) = 350
5x + 500 - 10x = 350
-5x = - 150
x = 30 (# of nickels)
y = 50-x = 20 (# of dimes)
