Answer:
The number of nickles in drawer is 20 and
The number of dimes in drawer is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
Total money in nickels and dimes = $ 2
Let The number of nickels = n
And The number of dimes = d
According to question
The number of nickels is three times number of dimes
I.e n = 3 times d
Or , n = 3 d
∵ n + d = $ 2
and 20 nickles = 1 dollar
10 dimes = 1 dollar
So, 20 nickles + 10 dimes = $ 1 + $ 1
or, 20 nickles + 10 dimes = $ 2
So, number of nickles is 20, and number of dimes is 10
Hence The number of nickles in drawer is 20 and
The number of dimes in drawer is 10 answer
