Answer:

9 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the number of pennies as x. The number of nickels would be 31 - x.

The pennies are worth x cents and the nickels are worth 5 * (31 - x), or 155-5x.

We are given that he has 67 cents, so:

x + 155 - 5x = 67

Solve.

-4x = 67 - 155 = -88

x = 22

Nickels are 31 - x, so the number of nickels he has is 9.

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation: The probability is given by the number of times the event could happen (in this case get an "e"), over the number of all the possibilities (in this case, the six letters of the word)

Therefore, probability $\frac{letter_e}{all letter}=\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}$
