Jeremy had 34 nickels and quarters totaling $4.10. He had two less than twice as many nickels as quarters. How many of each did he have?

Answer 1

number of quarters --- x
number of nickels --- 34-x

25x + 5(34-x) = 410
25x + 170 - 5x = 410
20x = 240
x = 12

So Jeremy has 12 quarters and 34-12 or 22 nickels.

Notice the second part of your question is superfluous information, even though it is true.
