Nadine has a cup of nickels and a cup of dimes. The total number of coins is 300 and their value
is $23.25. How many coins are in each cup?

135 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

135 Nickels is $6.75 and 165 dimes is $16.50

That's 300 coins. $6.75 + $16.50 = $23.25

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
