Answer:

let x = the number of nickels

 

the number of pennies can be represented by (56 - x)

 

.05x + .01(56 - x) = 1.52

 

5x + (56 - x) = 152    if in the above line we multiply both sides of the equation by 100

 

4x + 56 = 152

 

4x = 96

 

x = 24

 

There are 24 nickels and 56 - 24 = 32 pennies

 

24 nickels are worth 24 * 5 = $1.20 and 32 pennies are obviously worth 32 cents, so the total is 1.20 + 0.32 = $1.52

guapka [62]
To get the answer, first, you must find the amount in each box, so you must divide, 122 divided by 8, you should get 15.25, but that's not your answer. The question asks how many COMPLETE boxes, so just choose the whole number, which is 15. 15 is the answer.
