Question

ariana has $1.40 worth of nickels and dimes. she had twice as many nickels as dimes. determine the number of nickels and the number of dimes that ariana has

Answer 1

Ariana has 7 dimes and 14 nickels

Explanation:

Nickel = 0.05

Dime = 0.10

1.40 ÷ 2 = 0.70

7 x 2 = 14

because Adriana has twice the nickels as dimes and half of the 1.40 is dimes so the other half is nickels.

nickels x 2 = 14
