Your uncle has 36 coins in nickels and quarters. The value of his nickels is 1/15 of the value of his quarters. Find the number of nickels. Please show progress in answer.

Answer 1

Answer:i

Step-by-step explanation:

Total coin = 36

Let the no. Of quarter = x

No. Of nickel = 1/15 × x = x/15

So, x + x/15 = 36

Multiply each terms by 15

15x + x = 540

16x = 540

x = 540/16

x = 33.75

Nickel is x/15 = 33.75/15 = 2.25
