The number of dimes is 75 coins.
The number of nickels is 1 coin.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
It is given that,
A box contains 76 coins, only dimes and nickels.
- The 10 cent coin is called a dime.
- Let, the number of dimes be x.
- The 5 cent coin is called a nickel.
- Let, the number of nickels be y.
<u>This is represented by the system of equations :</u>
x + y = 76 -------(1)
10x + 5y = 4.90 ------(2)
Multiply eq (1) by 5 and subtract eq (2) from eq (1),
5x + 5y = 380
-<u>(10x + 5y = 4.90)</u>
<u>-5x = 375.1</u>
x = 375/5
x = 75 coins.
The number of dimes is 75 coins.
Substitute x=75 in eq (1),
y = 76 - 75
y = 1 coin.
The number of nickels is 1 coin.
