Answer:
14 nickels
7 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find out how many dimes there has to be to get $1.40
1 dime= .10
1.40/.10=14 dimes
14/2=7
so there are 7 dimes
since a nickel is half the amount of a dime there will be twice as many to make up the other half which is $0.70
.70/.05=14
there are 14 nickels
proof:
$0.10(7)+$0.05(14)= $1.40
