Answer:

There are 14 dimes and 17 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be number of nickels and let y be number of dimes.

Given that the total is $2.25 and there are 31 coins, we know that:

0.05x +0.10y = 2.25

x+y = 31

Solving for x yields:

x=31-y

We then proceed by plugging that back into the previous equation:

0.05(31-y)+0.10y=2.25

1.55 - 0.05y +0.10y = 2.25\\ --> Distribute

1.55 +0.05y=2.25 --> add y's together

0.05y=0.7 --> subtract 1.55

y=14 --> divide by 0.05

Therefore, x must equal 17, which means you have 14 dimes and 17 nickels.
