Question

Paul’s has 31.15 dollars from paper route has more nickels than quarters and 7 than quarters how many of each coins does Paul have ?

Answer 1

Paul has 7 quarters and 14 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the number of nickels as 'n' and the number of quarters as 'q'.

From the given information, we can set up two equations:

• n > q
• n = q + 7

Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get q + 7 > q. Subtracting 'q' from both sides, we have 7 > 0, which is always true. Therefore, any value of 'q' will satisfy the equations. We can choose any value for 'q' greater than or equal to zero.

For example, if we let 'q' = 0, then 'n' = 7.
