Question 822256
 Hi. I'm trying to solve one of those coin problems that go there are 80 coins in a jar. They are either quarters or nickels. The total value is 14.60. How many of each type of coin is there? 
Well I thought it would be a good idea to set up a system of linear equations such as
x+y=80 
25x+5y=14.60
---------------------
Comment::
Your last equation says cents + cents = dollars.
You need it to say cents + cents = cents
25x + 5y = 1460 cents
-----------------------------
Try that Please.
Cheers,
Stan H.
