Question 1048903
 Alycia opens her piggy bank to find only nickels and quarters inside.she counts the coins and finds that she has 93 coins totaling $14.25.how many nickles were in the piggy bank and how many quarters were in there ? 
-----------
n + q = 93 coins
5n + 25q = 1425 cents
--------------------------------
Modify::
n + q = 93
n + 5q = 285
------------------
Subtract and solve for "q":
4q = 192
q = 48 (# of quarters)
n = 93-48 = 45 (# of nickels)
------------
