Answer:

Ron has 15 nickels and 9 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where n is the number of nickels and q is the number of quarters he has:

n + q = 24

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -0.25

-0.25n - 0.25q = -6

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Add them together and solve for n:

-0.2n = -3

n = 15

So, Ron has 15 nickels. Find how many quarters he has by subtracting 15 from 24:

24 - 15

= 9

So, Ron has 15 nickels and 9 quarters.
