1 dime= 10 cents
i nickel= 5 cents
total is 1650 cents
let no. of dime be x
n
no.of nickel be y
no. of dime is twice no.of nickel(given)
therefore,
2x=y
2x-y=0 (i)
sum of 1 dime n nickel is 15 cents
dividing the total money by 15 we get 66
that means there are 66 combination of nickel n dime
therefore there are 66 nickels n 132 dimes in $1.65
