Sharu has $2.35 in nickels and dimes. If he has a total 32 coins, how many of each coin does he have?

15 dimes

17 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a system of equations for this

n is nickels

d is dimes

n + d = 32

.05n +.10d = 2.35

solve first equation for n and plug this in the second equation

n = 32 - d

.05 (32-d) +.10d = 2.35

1.6 -.05d +.10d = 2.35

1.6 +.05d = 2.35

.05d =.75

d = 15

n + 15 = 32

n = 17
