Ike's piggy bank contained only quarters and nickles. When he counted the money there was $21.65. If there were 121 more nickles than quarters, how many of each type of coin did Ike have in the bank?

Answer 1

There were only $6 and 5¢ of nickles in this mans pocket. And the rest was quarters.

We do $\boxed{6.05-21.65}= 15.6$.

Then sense we now know this, we then do...

$\boxed{15.6-6.05}=9.55$

Then we do, 6.05+6.05= 12.1

Quarters= 52

Nickles= 173

Answer 2

Answer:

well since we dont know the number of quarters were going to represent it as x and since we dont know the exact number of nickles were going to represent it as x + 121.

25x + 5(x+121) = 2165      (thats going to be the equation)

25x + 5x + 605 = 2165

25x + 5x = 2165 - 605

30x = 1560

x= 1560/30

x= 52
