You can put this solution on YOUR website! Joe empties anyh nickels and quarters in his pockets into a jar. If it currently contains 48 coins worth $10.60, determine how many nickels and quarters are in the jar? (with 6-step method please)
let x=number of nickels in the jar
then, 48-x=number of quarters in the jar
.05x+.25(48-x)=10.60
.05+12-.25x=10.6
-.20x=-1.4
x=7
48-x=41
ans: there are 7 nickels and 41 quarters in the jar.
I don't know what 6-step method you are referring to.
