Question 263865
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the number of nickels.  Then *[tex \Large 3x] has to be the number of dimes.  The value of the nickels is *[tex \Large 5x] cents and the value of the dimes is *[tex \Large 10(3x)\ =\ 30x] cents.  The total amount of money is 5635 cents, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5x\ +\ 30x\ =\ 5635]


Just solve for *[tex \Large x] to get the number of nickels, then times three for the number of dimes.
