Question

suzanna has a total of $3.60 in nickels and dimes. If her dimes were nickels and her nickels were dimes then she would have $5.40. How many coins does suzanna have?

Answer 1

initially, let x = number of nickels and y = number of dimes.

0.05x + 0.10y = 3.60

now the amount of nickels and dimes are inverted: so,

0.10x + 0.05y = 5.40

solve for x and y. lmk if you want the next step
