So you subtract $22.89 from $54.73 to get a total of $31.84 and that’s how much the customer paid.
10d+5n=220
divide both sides by 5
2d+n=44
d=13+n
sub 13+n for d in other equatin
2(13+n)+n=44
26+2n+n=44
26+3n=44
minus 26 both sides
3n=18
divide both sides by 3
n=6
sub back
d=13+n
d=13+6
d=19
19 dimes
6 nickles
No solution but the equation is true
