Answer:

the number of nickels and dimes is 60 and 12 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of nickels and dimes is shown below:

Let us assume the number of dimes be x

So, the number of nickels be 5x

Now according to the question

x + 5x = 72

6x = 72

x = 12

and 5x = 12(5) = 60

hence, the number of nickels and dimes is 60 and 12 respectively
