Answer:
7 dimes and 19 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
d = dimes
n = nickels
The total amount is
.05n + .1d =1.65
He has 12 more nickels than dimes
12+d = n
Substitute this into the first equation
.05 (12 +d) + .1d =1.65
.6 + .05d +.1d = 1.65
Combine like terms
.6 + .15d = 1.65
Subtract .6 from each side
.15d = 1.65-.6
.15d = 1.05
Divide by .15
.15d/.15 = 1.05/.15
d = 7
Now find n
12+d = n
12+7 = n
19 = n
Answer:
19 nickels and 7 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.65
d+12=n
0.05(d+12) +0.010d = 1.65
0.05d + 0.6 + 0.10d = 1.65
0.15d = 1.05
d = 7 dimes
d+12=n
7+12=n
n = 19 nickels
