Abe has some nickels and some pennies. If the pennies were nickels and the nickels were pennies, he would have 80 cents less than he has now. The difference between the number of nickels and the number of pennies that he has A) Is 12

B) Is 20

C) Is 24

D) Is 28

E) Cannot be Determined

B) Is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of pennies.

Let Y represent the number of nickels.

We know that X + 5Y = (Y + 5X) + 80.

4Y = 4X + 80

Y = X + 20

Hence, the difference between the number of pennies and the number of nickels is 20.

(I decided to answer this genius question just like how I have stated before XD)

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
