Question 1175383
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Lori's piggy bank has only pennies and nickels. If she has 66 coins worth $2.38, how many of each
type of coin does she have?
It asks for the equations and to solve it
.
.
.
I would show my attempt into doing it but I really don't know how to start it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


p how many pennies
n how many nickels
{{{system(p+n=66,p+5n=238)}}}
HOW do you want or need to solve this?


If you want to use substitution, decide if substitute for p or for n.
Here is doing it for p.


{{{(66-n)+5n=238}}}
and you can continue from here.
