Given:
Susie has 34 nickels and dimes. Their total value is $2.35.
To find:
The number of nickels and number of dimes.
Solution:
Let the number of nickels be x and number of dimes be y.
Susie has 34 nickels and dimes.
....(i)
We know that,
1 nickel = $0.05
1 dime = $0.10
Their total value is $2.35.
Multiply both sides by 100.
Divide both sides by 5.
...(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
Putting y=13 in (i), we get
Therefore, number of nickels is 21 and number of dimes is 13.
