Answer 1

Answer:

Numbers of Dimes = 5

Number of Nickels = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given as Danny have 75 cents .

All are in Dimes and Nickels .

Now as we know that ,

One Dimes = Two Nickels

And One Dimes = 10 cents

so, one Nickles = 5 cents                     Note : ( 2 Nickels = 10 cents )

Or, 5 Nickels = 5 × 5 cents = 25 cents

And 5 Dimes = 5 × 10 cents = 50 cents

So , 5 Dimes + 5 Nickles = 25 cents + 50 cents = 75 cents.

Hence, Number of dimes = 5

           Number of Nickels = 5        Answer
