Nickels + Quarters = 106  ... Quarters= 106 - Nickels

.05Nickels + .25Quarters = 13.70  
.05Nickels + .25(106 -Nickels) = 13.70
.05Nickels + 26.5 - .25Nickels = 13.70 
26.5 -13.7 = .25Nickels -.05Nickels
12.8 = .2Nickels   divide both sides bQuarters .2
64 = Nickels
106 -64 = 42 (Quarters)
