Joanna has a total of 7 rolls of coins worth $23. She has rolls of dimes worth $5 each, and rolls of nickel worth $2. How many rolls of each kind does she have?

Respuesta :

3 rolls of dimes and 8 rolls of nickels

There is 4 roll of coins of nickel and 3 rolls of coins of dimes.

Given that,

Joanna has a total of 7 rolls of coins worth $23.

She has rolls of dimes worth $5 each and rolls of nickel worth $2.

We have to determine,

How many rolls of each kind does she have?

According to the question,

Let the number of coins of dimes be x

And the number of coins of nickel be y.

Then,

The number of coins of dimes + Number of coins of nickel = Total number of coins.

[tex]\rm x+ y =7[/tex]

And the total price of the coins is equal to the price of each coin of dimes and nickel.

[tex]\rm 5x+2y=23[/tex]

Solving both the equation,

From equation 1,

[tex]\rm x+ y = 7\\\\x = 7-y[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in equation 2,

[tex]\rm 5x+2y = 23\\\\5(7-y) +2y = 23\\\\35-5y+2y=23\\\\-3y = 23-35\\\\-3y = -12\\\\y = \dfrac{-12}{-3}\\\\y = 4[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation 1,

[tex]\rm x+y = 7\\\\x+4 = 7\\\\x = 7-4\\\\x =3[/tex]

Hence, there is 4 roll of coins of nickel and 3 rolls of coins of dimes.
