Will has 2 quarters, 6 dimes, some nickels, and 4 pennies. If the ratio of pennies to the total number of coins he has is 1:5, how many nickels are there?

8 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickels.

4: (2+ 6 + 4 + n) = 1:5

4÷(12 + n) = 1÷5

4 x 5 = 1 x (12 + n)

20 = 12 + n

n = 8
