Question

Megan has a bowl containing $1.95 in pennies and dimes. If she has 3 times as many pennies as she has dimes, how many pennies and how many dimes does she have?

Answer 1

Answer: she has 15 dimes and 45 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

01p+1d=1.95

p=3d

01(3d)+.1d=1.95

p=3.15

03d+.1d=1.95

p=45

.13d=1.95

d=15
