What is the relation between product and price?

The price depends on how much amount of product one has/consumes.

How to calculate the number of nickels and quarters?

Let, Camille has 'y' no. of nickels.

Therefore, she has (61-y) no. of quarters.

We know that,

1 nickel = 5cents

1 quarter =25 cents

$6.85 = 685cents (as 1 dollar = 100cents)

now,

5*y+25*(61-y)=685

or,5y-25y=685-1525

or, 20y = 840

or, y= 42

Therefore, Camille has 42 nickels and (62-41)=19 quarters.
