Bethany so $3.10 in nickels and dimes. she has a total of 44coins. what is the amount of nickels bethany has? !

We know that a nickel equals $0.05.

We know that a dime equals $0.10.

So we will start by looking at the basic pricing of each coin, then to look into writing this problem out in an basic algebra a format. *key - anytime you are trying to find out the amount (value) that is written out in word format you always want to convert it into an equation to get your solution.*

We will use x (which is the most common) for the number of dimes that we have.

44-x (so x is the amount of dime, and 44 is the total coins that we have all together between the nickles and dimes).

0.10 (the price of a dimes)x+0.05 (the price of the nickles)*(44-x)=3.10 (the total amount of the nickels and dimes together.

Always use your rule of PEMDAS

10x+5*(44-x)=3.10

10x-5x=310-5*44

5x=90

x=18 (this is simplified)

So there are 18 dimes and then there is 26 nickels which = $1.30.

So your answer is going to be $1.30.

You can check your work by, the 18 dimes would be 44-18 which is 26 and then the value of the nickels 26*$0.05=$1.30

it would take 5 hours i think idk i'm not that good at math.can you me with my questions i need asap.
