Question

Mindf**k Question- Can you guess it?
Billy has 16 coins in a jar. The jar contains only nickels and dimes. If the coins are worth $1.11, how many nickels does Billy have?

Answer 1

10 nickles and 6 dimes.

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

Lets let x=number of nickels. Since there are 16 total coins, (16-x)=number of dimes. We know the value of the coins is 1.10. So, 10 times the number of dimes plus 5 times the number of nickels equals 110 cents. Or:
\[5x+10(16-x)=110\] or-
\[5x+160-10x=110\] combine like terms and simplify and you find
\[x=10 nickels\]

Answer 4

nope.

Answer 5

Answer 6

You just changed the question.

Answer 7

Answer 8

With the value now 1.11, you'd find
\[x=10.2 nickels\] which wouldn't be possible. The question is unsolvable.
