Answer:
Total number of dimes=6
Total number of nickels=12
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for the total value of money Jayden has is;
Nickels have a value of= $0.05
Dimes have a value of= $0.10
Total value=(value of nickels×number of nickels)+(value of dimes×number of dimes)
where;
Total value=$1.20
Value of a nickel=$0.05
number of nickels=y, but y=2 x
Value of a dime=0.10
number of dimes=x
replacing;
1.20=(0.05×2 x)+(0.1×x)
0.1 x+0.1 x=1.2
0.2 x=1.2
x=1.2/0.2
x=6
y=2 x=2×6=12
Total number of dimes=6
Total number of nickels=12
