Question

14 coins in your pocket that are either quarters or nickels the total value is $2.50. How many of each type of coin do you have?

Answer 1

If you have 14 coins in your pocket and the amount of money you have in your pocket is 2.50, when only using nickels and quarters you would have:
5 Nickels=0.25
9 Quarters=2.25
0.25+2.25=$2.50 (money)
9+5= 14 (amount of coins)
So you would have 5 nickeled and 9 quarters.
