Answer:
Pennies = 80
Nickels = 160
Step-by-step explanation:
Two equations representing the relation between numbers of pennies and nickels have been given.
0.01p + 0.05n = 8.80 ---------(1)
n = 2p -----(2)
By substituting the value of n from equation (2) in equation (1).
0.01p + 0.05(2p) = 8.80
0.01p + 0.1p = 8.80
0.11p = 8.80
p = [tex]\frac{8.8}{0.11}[/tex]
p = 80
By equation (2)
n = 2×80
n = 160
