Paul has a collection of nickels and dimes that has
a total value of
& 12.50. He Has 150 coins in all. How
many dimes does paul have?

#nickels = 50

#dimes = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

system of equations:

n + d = 150

.05n + .10d = 12.50

let n = '150 - d' and substitute this into the second equation

.05(150-d) + .10d = 12.5

7.5 - .05d + .10d = 12.5

.05d = 5

d = 5/.05

d = 100

n = 50

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
