Seo-jun has 20 nickels and 12 quarters in his pocket.

let

x = number of nickels coins

y = number of quarters coins

He has a total of 32 coins in his pocket. Therefore,

Therefore,

x + y = 32

0.05x + 0.25y = 4

0.05x + 0.05y  = 1.6

0.05x + 0.25y = 4

y = 2.4 / 0.2

y = 12

x = 32 - 12

x = 20
