Question

Jose has $2.50 in nickels and dimes in his jar. If he has 11 more nickels than dimes, how many dimes does he have?

Answer 1

no. of nickels=x
no. of dimes=y
so, x=y+11
and total value is $2.50, that is 250 cents
so, 5x+10y=250
simplifies to x+2y=50

solve the two linear equations to get x and y, and enjoy!!
