Answer:

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the amounts of nickels and dimes that Carrie and Joan have, as c the total amount of money that both Carrie and Joan have. A nickel is a five cent coin and a dime is a ten cent coin.

The following equations are constructed after a careful reading on statement:

Carrie's amount of money:

0.05\cdot x = c (Eq. 1)

Joan's amount of money:

0.10\cdot y = c (Eq. 2)

Relation between amounts of coins:

x = y+40 (Eq. 3)

First we eliminate c by equalizing (Eq. 1) and (Eq. 2):

0.05\cdot x = 0.10\cdot y

Then, we reduce the resulting formula by (Eq. 3):

0.05\cdot (y+40) = 0.10\cdot y

y+40 = 2\cdot y

y = 40

And rest of variable are now determined:

x = 40+40

x = 80

c = 0.05\cdot (80)

c  = 4

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.
