There are 4 quarters and 12 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quarter is equal to $0.25.

A nickel is equal to $0.05.

Let the number of nickels be y.

Let the number of quarters be x.

Mark had 3 times as many quarters as nickels. This means that:

y = 3x

3x represents the number of nickels.

We are told that he had $1.60 in all. This means that:

0.25x + 0.05y = 1.60

=> 0.25x + 0.05 * 3x = 1.60

0.25x + 0.15x = 1.60

0.40x = 1.60

=> x = 1.6 / 0.4 = 4

Therefore:

y = 3 * 4 = 12

There are 4 quarters and 12 nickels.

use substitution to solve each system of equations. y = x + 5 3x + y = 25 62/87,21 y = x + 5 3x + y = 25 substitute x + 5 for y in the second equation. substitute the solution for x into either equation to find y. the solution is (5, 10)
