Question 1155884

"Solve each problem using a system of equations."
a) How could you make 98¢ using exactly 30 nickels and pennies?
b) Five pencils and four erasers cost 98¢. Two pencils and three erasers cost 49¢. How much is a pencil?
<pre>What the other person told you is WRONG!! 17 pennies & 3 nickels do not make $0.98, and neither does 17 nickels and 3 pennies.
I don't know why these people keep misleading others by almost always giving WRONG answers!
