$x-\ number\ of\ nickels\\
y-\ number\ of\ dimes\\\\
x+y=25 \ \ \ | x=25-y\\
0.05x+0.1y=1.65\\\\
0.05(25-y)+0.1y=1.65\\\\
1.25-0.05y+0.1y=1.65\\\\
1.25+0.05y=1.65\ \ \ | subtract\ 1.25\\\\
0.05y=0.4\ \ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 0.05\\\\
y=8\\\\
x=25-8=17\\\\
There\ are\ 17 \ nickels\ and\ 8\ dimes.

AleksAgata [21]

Find the sum which amounts to Rs 9261 at 10% per annum compound interest for 18 months ,interest payable half yearly

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where A is amount , r is rate =10% = 0.10 , n is intervals of compounding n=2 , t is time = 18 months=1.5 years

Lets plug in

$9261=P(1+\frac{0.10}{2})^{2*1.5}$

$9261 = P(1.002)^{3}$

$9261 = P(1.006012008)$

divide both sides by 1.006012008

$P= Rs 9205.6555$
