Let x =  the number of boys.
Let y =  the number of girls.

There are 48 children, therefore
x + y = 48           (1)

There are twice as many boys as girls, therefore
x = 2y                 (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
2y + y = 48
3y = 48
y = 48/3 = 16
x = 2y = 2*16 = 32

x=32, y = 16

Answer: 16 girls

Brad has eight more nickels than quarters. Altogether he has $6.10. how many of each does he have
wlad13 [49]

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

One nickel = 5 cents

Let,

x represent the number of quarters.

y represent the number of nickels.

According to given statement;

25x+5y=610     Eqn 1

y = x+8              Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

25x+5(x+8)=610\\25x+5x+40=610\\30x=610-40\\30x=570

Dividing both sides by 30

\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{570}{30}\\x=19

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

y=19+8\\y=27

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.
