Question 1040751
 ​Gaby's piggy bank contains quarters and nickels worth ​$5.45. If she has 45 coins in​ all, how many of each does she​ have? 
-------
q + n = 45 coins
25q + 5n = 545 cents
---------------------------
Modify::
q + n = 45
5q + n = 109
-------
Subtract and solve for "q"::
4q = 64
q = 16 (# of quarters)
n = 45-16 = 29 (# of nickels)
-------------
Cheers,
