Answer:

90 nickels and 15 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If one is six times the other, then you would have 7 equal piles. Divide 105 by 7 to get 15 which is the number in each pile(number of dimes). Then 105 minus 15 gives you the total of the rest of the piles(number of nickels).

Check:

90 plus 15 equals 105, and

15 times 6 equals 90.
