This is a problem of guess and check; there's no easier way to do it.But in this case you must have an odd number of nickels to make the 5 cents, so your answer is 9 nickels.you can check this by multiplying each one by .05:
9*.05=.45
the rest of the coins left, are 8 of them, and their dimes.
.10*8=.80
.80+.45= 1.25
Any odd integer can be expressed as 2n+1, for some integer n.
The next odd integer, after 2n+1, is 2n+1+2=2n+3
thus 9x=2n+1, means that 9x-1=2n, so n=(9x-1)/2
the next odd number after 2n+1 is 2n+3= 2* (9x-1)/2+3=9x-1+3=9x+2
Remark : this result could also have been found directly.
