Margie has 5 times as many nickels as quarters. She has a total of $2.00.

Question

Write a system of equations to represent the situation. Let n represent the number of nickels and q represent the number of quarters.

Answer 1

count the coins and the value:
n = 5q
5n+25q = 200

Answer 2

thank you!

Answer 3

q = the number quarters.
n = the number of nickels.

Eq1: 25q + 5n = 200.
Eq2: n = 5q.

25q + 5*(5q) = 200
q = 4.
n = 5q = 20.
