500 is the answer because 500 is much closer
Think of this situation as a system of equations.
let y be the price of hotdogs
let x be the price of hamburgers
5y + 2x = 8
2y + 5x = 9.50
now use your solution method of choice
substitution, elimination, matrices, etc
So Maurice would have 2N nickels
Total number of coins is N + 2N + 9 = 3N + 9
Each nickel is 5 pennies
3N of nickels = 15N pennies
-----------
Their worth is 84 cents
15N + 9 = 84
15N = 75
N = 75/15 = 5
N = 5
This means Nina has 5 nickels.
