If there are 34 times more nickels than dimes
n = 34d
:
and 18 times more pennies than dimes.
p = 18d
:
.01p + .05n + .10d = 104.94
:
Substitute 34d for n and 18d + p and solve for d:
:
.01(18d) + .05(34d) + .10d = 104.94
:
.18d + 1.7d + .10d = 104.94
:
1.98d = 104.94
d = 104.94%2F1.98
d = 53 dimes
:
how many nickels do I have, if there is $104.94?
:
n = 34(53)
n = 1802 nickels
:
Find pennies
p = 18(53)
p = 954 pennies
:
Check solution
.10(53) + .05(1802) + .01(954) =
5.30 + 90.10 + 9.54 = 104.94; confirms our solutions
