Problema Solution
if hagen has 4 more quarters than nickel and they have a combined value of 310 cent. hiw many of each coin does she have
Answer provided by our tutors
1 nickel = 5 cents
1 quarter = 25 cents
let
x = the number of nickels Hagen has
y = the number of quarters Hagen has
Hagen has 4 more quarters than nickels
y = x + 4
they have a combined value of 310 cent
5x + 25y = 310
by solving the system of equations
y = x + 4
5x + 25y = 310
we find
x = 7 nickles
y = 11 quarters
