This is how you solve this problem:
.10d + .05n = 5.25
(plug in the number of dimes we have)
(21 x .1) + .05n = 5.25
(multiply number of dimes x value of the dime)
2.10 + .05n = 5.25
(subtract 2.10 from both sides)
.05n = 3.15
(divide both sides by .05 to get the number of nickels)
n = 63 nickels
Hope this helps!

A) blue/total = (3+2)/(8+2) = 5/10 = 50%
b) blue/total = (3)/(8 +2) = 3/10 = 30%
Answer = B
Working = 13-(-4) = 17
Answer:
<u>x = 8 and y = 5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
what is x and y for the following system of equations:
50x + 30 y = 550 ⇒ (1)
44x + 36 y = 532 ⇒ (2)
Subtract (1) - (2)
∴ 6x - 6y = 18
Divide both sides by 6
∴ x - y = 3
∴ x = 3 + y ⇒ (3)
Substitute with the value of x at (1)
50(3+y) + 30y = 550
Solve for y
150 + 50y + 30y = 550
80y = 550 - 150 = 400
∴ y = 400/80 = 5
Substitute with the value of y at (3)
∴ x = 3 + y = 3 + 5 = 8
<u>So, x = 8 and y = 5</u>
