Answer:
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> number of nickels
y ----> number of dimes
Remember that


so
------> equation A

------> equation B
<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>
we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
Multiply both equations by 100 both sides
---->
--> equation C
----> equation D
substitute equation C in equation D

solve for y




Find the value of x




<em>Alternative Method</em>
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is the point (45,72)
therefore
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply by 12 because to get rid of the fractions all terms should be divided by the LCM (ie the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 2, 4 and 3)
Multiples of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12
Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Therefore the fractions should be multiplied by 12
