So how many nickels and how many dimes?
Figure it out. I’ve got no more rhymes. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Creative problem.
Let n and d be the number of nickels and dimes. Then we have
n + d = 19 and the value equation is
5n + 10d = 130 (we work in cents)
Now multiply the top equation by five and subtract from the second...we get
5n + 10d = 130
-(5n + 5d = 95)
-----------------
5d = 35
d = 7 dimes
n = 12 nickels
