Whats the answer in these boxexs

Answer 1

Answer: 17 nickels, 8 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given system of equations, we can use elimination method to find n or d. First, let's eliminate n. To do so, we need to make sure they are equal to each other. Then, we would have to multilpy the second equaiton by 0.05.

0.05N+0.1D=1.65

0.05N+0.05D=1.25

Now, we can subtract the 2 equations.

0.05D=0.4

D=8

Now that we know the number of dimes, we can plug it into any of the equations to find nickels.

N+8=25

N=17

There are 17 nickels and 8 dimes.
