Question

Tyler has 9 coins in his pocket, all nickels
or dimes. The coins are worth 65 cents. Find
out how many of each he has.

Answer 1

he has 15 nickels

because 65 divided by 5 is 15

Answer 2

Tyler has 4 dimes and 5 nickels. 4 x 10 = 40 and we have 5 coins left, 5 x 5 = 25 and so we just add it together which is 40 + 25 = 65
