jessie has a total of 36 coins of dimes and nickels. Total value is $2.35. How many of each kind of coins does he have?

Question

Nothing much. this is the question. Expect I need it now please

Answer 1

Let x = number of nickels

 

Then, 36-x = number of dimes

 

Value of nickels + Value of dimes = 2.35

 

0.05x + 0.10(36-x) = 2.35

 

0.05x + 3.60 - 0.10x = 2.35

 

                   -0.05x = -1.25

 

                          x = 25

 

ANSWER:  Jessie has 25 nickels and 11 dimes.
