First, you want to solve for the equation for this problem, would be:
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50
While N = The amount of nickels, and D = The amount of dimes.
Since N = 164, and D = 123. It would add up to 287 coins. 164 + 123 = 287.
Now that you have the number for those two variables, solve the equation for when N = 164, and D = 123.
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50
<span>0.05(164) + 0.10(123) = 20.50
</span><span>8.2 + 12.3 = 20.50
</span>20.50 = 20.50
So, there is 164 nickels, and 123 dimes for your answer.

$139.23 you take the 239+34.70 then take 10% off
It should be C
Have a good day!!
D. take the number of dollars she has and multiply by .25.
dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal. since she is dividing by .25, she needs to multiply by the reciprocal (4,) but instead, she is just multiplying by .25.
