You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ceci has $2.55 in nickels and dimes. If she has 9 more dimes than nickels, how many of each coin does she have?
------------------
Without the 9 more dimes, she'd have $1.65
Each pair of nickels and dimes = 15 cents
165/15 = 11 sets
-------------------------
--> 11 nickels & 20 dimes
