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.

NAFTA as an organization is  very important for the three North American economies, the USA, Canada, and Mexico. It is basically a regional trade organization which has lifted the borders when it comes to trade, thus enabling free movement of goods between these three nations. This has resulted in rise of the economies of all three nations, as there were no trade barriers between them anymore. The companies where able to move their facilities and to operate in each of these countries, which brought them larger profits. The Canadian and the US economies became almost like one, as the companies managed to operate in both places, and to become major players in the market, this especially goes for the US companies that made Canada their home terrain.
