Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:

0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50

==>  5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:

<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21

==>  -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105

Add the two equations together:

(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)

Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :

(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105

5<em>d</em> = 45

<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9

Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:

<em>n</em> + 9 = 21

<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12

So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.

Answer:

$12.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If they paid $0.72 in tax and tax is 6% or .06 then you could create an equation like this: x * .06 = .72 with x representing the original cost of the bracelet. Now you can just solve for x like so:

x * .06 = .72

÷.06       ÷.06

x = 12
