Answer:

Answer:

Answer is: 32 nickels and 23 dimes.

x - number of nickels .

y -number of dimes.

two equations in two unknowns:

1) x + y = 55

2) 0,05x + 0,1y = 3,90.

nickel is a five-cent coin.

dime is a ten-cent coin.

solve equation 1) for x and substitute for x in equation 2)

x = 55 - y

0,05·(55 - y) + 0,1y = 3,902,75 - 0,05y + 0,1y = 3,90

0,05y = 1,15

y = 23.

x = 55 - 23 = 32.

Answer:

About 8595 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If approximately 9/20 of the students are male, multiplying this by the total number of students enrolled will give a good approximation of the total number of enrolled males. 9/20 * 19100=8595. Hope this helps!
