You can put this solution on YOUR website! Mary has $2.15 in a jar that is entirely made up of dimes and nickles. there are 30 coins total. How many dimes and nickles does she have.
--------------------
d + n = 30
10d + 5n = 215
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d+n=215
10d+5(30-d)=215
10d+150-5d=215
10d-5d
5d+150=215
-150 -150
5d/5=65/5
d=13
30-13=17
n=17
10(13)+5(17)=215
