Question 1047885: For the following problem, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution:
John has a jarful of quarters and nickels. There are 104 coins in the jar. The value of the coins is $16.60. How many of each type of coin are there?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25x + 5(104-x) = 1660 CENTS makes sense
x = (1660 - 520)/20 = 57, number of Quarters. Nickels 47
AND
25*57 + 5*47 = 1660 CHECKS!
