A) N + D = 30
B) .05N + .1D = 2.20

Multiplying equation A by -.05
A) -.05N  -.05D = -1.50 then adding it to B
B) .05N + .1D = 2.20
.05D = .70
Dimes = 14

Nickels = 30 -14 = 16

Answer:

The number of nickels are 16 and the number of dimes are 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Let n represent the number of nickels.

let d represent the number of dimes.

As given

Luis is saving money to purchase a new video game.

He has a total of 30 coins consisting of nickels and dimes.

Than the equation becomes

n + d = 30

As the value of the coins is $2.20.

As 1 nickel = 0.05 dollars

    1 dimes = 0.1 dollars

Than the equation becomes

0.05n + 0.1d = 2.20

Simplify the above

\frac{5n}{100} +\frac{d}{10} = \frac{220}{100}

L.C.M of (10,100) = 100

Than

5n + 10d = 220

Than two equations are

n + d = 30 and 5n + 10d = 220

Multiply n + d = 30 by 5 and subtracted from  5n + 10d = 220 .

5n - 5n + 10d - 5d = 220 - 150

5d = 70

d = \frac{70}{5}

d = 14

Put in the equation n + d = 30

n + 14 = 30

n = 30 - 14

n = 16

Therefore the number of nickels are 16 and the number of dimes are 14.

Answer:

s > 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

for example : 2 < 3 means 2 is less than 3

3 >2 means 3 is greater than 2

If he needs to sell more than 200, sales has to be greater than 200 = s > 200
