Write the situation as a simultaneous eqution: 
x+y=87
10x+5y=545

Now solve for y by multiplying the whole of the first equation by the coefficient of x:
10x+10y=870
10x+5y=545

5y=325
y=65 nickels in the box
x+y=87
x=22 dimes in the box
To prove this is correct, we do (10 x 22)+(5 x 65)=545 cents ($5.45)

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn the fraction of 1 1/2 to decimal would be : 1.50 add fifty percent because you have to add 6 to 12 and six is half, so you add half. Half of 150 is 75 so add them you get 225 and as a fraction, that's 2 1/4. Already you have the first part done. Since there is only one answer with 2 1/3 your answer has to be D.
