Question

little melinda has nickels and quarters in her bank she has 8 fewer than nickels she has 5.60 in the bank how many coins of each type does she have

Answer 1

Answer:

She has 20 coins in her bank, where she has 12 nickels and 8 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

• A quarter is 25 cents

• A nickel is 5 cents
• Since she has 8 fewer than nickels, we add 8 to the number of nickels

Q = N + 8,   25Q + 5N = 560

25(N + 8) + 5N = 560

25N + 200 + 5N = 560

25N + 200 - 200 + 5N = 560 - 200

30N = 360

30N / 30 = 360 / 30

N = 12 nickels

Finding amount of Quarters:

Q = N + 8 → Q = 12 + 8

Q = 20 quarters
