To create a total value of 70 cents using dimes (10 cents each) and nickels (5 cents each), you can use the following combination:

  • 5 dimes (5 x 10 cents = 50 cents)
  • 4 nickels (4 x 5 cents = 20 cents)

Total value: 50 cents + 20 cents = 70 cents

So, one combination is:

  • 5 dimes
  • 4 nickels
