A container holds a combination of dimes and nickels. There are 200 coins in all, and their total value is $16.30. The system of equations models this situation, where x is the number of dimes and y is the number of nickels.
x+y=200
0.1x+0.05y=16.3
How many dimes and nickels are in the container?

B.
132 dimes and 68 nickels

C.

Sagot :

x+y=200
x=200-y


0.1x+0.05y=16.3
0.1(200-y)+0.05y=16.3
20-0.1y+0.05y=16.3
-0.05y=16.3-20
-0.05y=-3.7
0.05y=3.7
y=3.7•100/5
y=370/5
y=74



x=200-y
x=126


A. 126 dimes and 64 nickels
