Nicole has a stack of nickels and a stack of Dimes she has a total of 24 coins with a total value of $2 what is the total value in dollars of the stack of Dimes

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of nickels as 'n' and the number of dimes as 'd'.

From the problem, we know that:

n + d = 24 (equation 1)
0.05n + 0.10d = 2 (equation 2)

Solve equation 1 for n:
n = 24 - d

Now substitute n in equation 2:
0.05(24 - d) + 0.10d = 2
1.2 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 2
0.05d = 0.8
d = 16

So, Nicole has 16 dimes.

For the total value in dollars of the stack of dimes:
Value = number of dimes * value of each dime
Value = 16 * $0.10
Value = $1.60

Therefore, the total value in dollars of the stack of dimes is $1.60.
