Answer:
There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of dimes
y is the number of nickels.
There are a total of 120 coins in the bag
This means that x + y = 120.
The total value of the coins is $9.25.
The dime is worth $0.10 and the nickel is worth $0.05. So
0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25
System:
From the first equation:
Replacing in the second:
There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.
