You can put this solution on YOUR website! Aviva has a total of 67 coins, all of whick are either dimes or nickels. The total value of the coins is $5.35. Fine the number of each type of coin.
------
Quantity Eq::: n + d = 67 coins
Value EQ::::: 5n + 10d = 535 cents
--------
Divide thru the Value Equation by 5:
n + d = 67
n + 2d = 107
----
Subtract and solve for "d"
d = 40 (# of dimes)
------
Solve for "n":
n + d = 67
n = 27 (# of nickels)
