Answer: There are 110 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of nickels be 'n'.

Let the number of dimes be 'd'.

Total amount = 10.50

Total number of coins = 160

So, According to question, it becomes,

n+d=160\\\\d=160-n\\\\0.05n+0.1d=10.50\\\\0.05n+0.1(160-n)=10.50\\\\0.05n+16-0.1n=10.50\\\\-0.05n=10.50-16=-5.5\\\\n=\dfrac{5.5}{0.05}=110

Hence, there are 110 nickels in the piggy bank.

Ok here's your system:

n+d=160
0.05n+0.10d=10.50

Steps:

I will try to solve your system of equations.

d+n=160;0.1d+0.05n=10.5

Step: Solved+n=160for d:

d+n+−n=160+−n(Add -n to both sides)

d=−n+160

Step: Substitute−n+160fordin0.1d+0.05n=10.5:

0.1d+0.05n=10.5

0.1(−n+160)+0.05n=10.5

−0.05n+16=10.5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−0.05n+16+−16=10.5+−16(Add -16 to both sides)

−0.05n=−5.5

−0.05n−0.05=−5.5−0.05(Divide both sides by -0.05)

n=110

Step: Substitute110fornind=−n+160:

d=−n+160

d=−110+160

d=50(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

d=50 and n=110


so there are 110 nickels
