Question

Ryan has some nickels and dimes. Altogether, he has 34 coins that total $2.60. Write the system of equations to determine how many of each coin he has.

Answer 1

To find the amount of dimes that Ryan uses, I used (2.60/0.10) to get 26 dimes, meaning that there are also 8 nickels.

So in total, you have 26 dimes and 8 nickels

Hope this helps
