nLet's assume the number of dimes Kesha had in her change purse be "d". As per the problem statement, Kesha had only "d" dimes in her change purse. Also, the total change Kesha had was 64 cents. Let's assume the number of pennies Kesha had be "p". As per the problem statement, Kesha had 6 times as many pennies as dimes. This can be expressed as p = 6d. Now, let's calculate the total value of dimes Kesha had. Since Kesha had only d dimes, the total value of dimes she had would be 10d cents. Similarly, let's calculate the total value of pennies Kesha had. Since Kesha had p pennies, the total value of pennies she had would be 1p = p cents. As per the problem statement, Kesha had a total of 64 cents. Thus, the total value of dimes and pennies she had would be: 10d + p = 64 Substituting p = 6d in the above equation, we get: 10d + 6d = 64 Simplifying the above equation, we get: 16d = 64 Dividing both sides by 16, we get: d = 4 Thus, Kesha had 4 dimes in her change purse. As per the problem statement, Kesha had 6 times as many pennies as dimes. 6 x 4 =

So if she has 64 cents and has 6 times the amount of pennies as she does dimes then you would do 6 x 4 = which would give you 24.
