Answer 1

the answer to your question would be 50

Answer 2

10dimes and 40nickels

Explanation:

We know that the amount of nickels is four times that of dimes, so think about the total 50 in 5parts; if we divide 50 by 5 we are going to get 10. The nickels get 4/5s of the total, and the dimes get 1/5 of it.
