Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

what do we know?

we know that a quarter is $0.25 and a nickel is $0.05

4x$.25 = $1

20x$0.05 = $1

and we have 84 coin

n = the number of nickels

q = the number of quarters

(1) n + q = 84 and

(2) 5*n + 25*q = 100*11.80 (always work in cents)

(3) 5*n + 25*q = 1180

Now substitute n from equation (1) into equation (3) and get

5*(84 - q) + 25*q = 1180

420 - 5*q + 25*q = 1180

20*q = 1180 - 420

20*q = 760

q = 38

Then using equation (1), plug in q

n + 38 = 84

n = 46

now check these values.

Is (.05*38 + .25*46 = 11.80)?

Is (2.30 + 9.50 = 11.80)?

Is (11.80 = 11.80)? Yes
