There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total coins = 253
Value of coins = $15.95 = 15.95*100 = 1595 cents
Value of each nickel = 5 cents
Value of each dime = 10 cents
According to given statement;
x+y=253 Eqn 1
5x+10y=1595 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 5

Putting y=66 in Eqn 1

There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.

The problem here is: Too many words.
If you boil the problem down to the bare facts, the question is:
"$210 is 15% of what number ?"
I'm pretty sure you can take it from there,
but here's the rest of it anyway:
$210 = 15% of (March amount)
$210 = 0.15 x (March amount)
Divide each side by 0.15 : $1400 = March amount .
Check:
1400 + 210 = 1610
1.15 x 1400 = 1610 yay!

Let's solve this inequality!

What can we do to solve this inequality? Well, first of all, we can add -7 and 35:

Now, move 20 to the right, using the opposite operation:

Subtract:

Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x:
(Answer)
_____________
<em>Additional comment</em>
When we divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we flip the inequality sign.
