OpenStudy (pokemon23):

I hate these kind of questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes me too.

OpenStudy (a_clan):

First I need to know, What is the value of 1 nickel and 1 dime ?

OpenStudy (a_clan):

Let no. of nickels=n Let no. of dimes=d n-d=4 ....................Eqn(1) (value of 1nickel)*n + (value of 1 dime)*d = $2.45 ..........Eqn(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great, what next?

OpenStudy (a_clan):

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yikes, can you show me what that looks like

OpenStudy (a_clan):

(value of 1nickel)*n + (value of 1 dime)*(n-4)= $2.45

OpenStudy (a_clan):

You will get an eqn in one variable, n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry im not following, I don't know what to do with all of the information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are my equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or what is n and what is d?

OpenStudy (a_clan):

Let no. of nickels=n Let no. of dimes=d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (a_clan):

Given in problem, n-d=4 ....................Eqn(1)

OpenStudy (a_clan):

Given in problem, The value of all the coins together=$2.45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (a_clan):

Value of all the nickels in bank=(Value of 1 nickel) * n =($0.05)*n Value of all the dimes in bank=(Value of 1 dime) * d =($0.10)*d The value of all the coins=($0.05)*n + ($0.10)*d which is equal to $2.45

OpenStudy (a_clan):

So, the second equation ($0.05)*n + ($0.10)*d=$2.45 .................eqn(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how many nickels and dimes? once you show me this part i will understand how to do the whole problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please show me the two equations working together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it four more nickels than dimes, isn't that d+4=2.45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean d + n=4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let the no. of nickels be x. Let the no. of dimes be y. four more nickels than dimes mean no of dimes(y)+4=no of nickels(x) Cn u just tel me the value of 1 nickel and dime?
