A dollar was changed into 16 coins consisting of just nickels an dimes. how many coins of each kind were in the change?
This is an algebra problem that requires two equations to be solved simultaneously. The two key pieces of information are that there are 16 coins and that they add to 1 dollar. For the first equation, let's suppose we have X nickels and Y dimes. Therefore we may say: X + Y = 16 For the second equation we apply what we know about the values of nickels and dimes. A nickel is worth 5 cents. So the value of X number of nickels is 5*(X). The value of Y dimes is 10*(Y). Notice that the units of this value is in cents. Our given information says dollar, so it now makes sense to think of this dollar as 100 cents to match our equation. Now we may say: 5X + 10Y = 100 These two equations can be solved simultaneously by add/subtracting them or solving for a variable and substituting. I think add/subtracting is cooler but everyone knows substitution: Rearrange X+Y=16 to X=16-Y Then substitute for X in the other equation: 5(16-Y)+10Y=100 Distribute, group terms, subtract, and divide both sides: (80-5Y)+10Y=100 80+5Y=100 5Y=20 Y=4 Therefore we have 4 dimes, or 40 cents. The total is a dollar so we must have 60 cents in nickels. The only way to have that is with 12 coins. These numbers make sense: they total 16 coins and 1 dollar. QED.

If there are twice as many nickels as quarters and the coins are worth 4 dollars and 90 cents then how many quarters are there?
14 Quarters = $3.50 28 nickels = $1.40 To get this answer you simple add 2 nickles to one quarter which = 35 cents divide 4.90 by 35 which equals 14 14 will be the number of quarters and double that, 28 will be the number of nickels
How much is 3 nickels plus 3 pennies?
A nickel is worth 5 cents, so 3 nickels are worth 3*5 = 15 cents. Add the 3 remaining cents to get a total of 18 cents.
What 13 coins make up 35 cents?
Two dimes, a nickel, and 10 pennies. A good question is how do you figure that out. I started out eliminating the coins that could not be included. If one coin was a quarter, the other 12 had to add up to 10 cents. That can't happen so there can't be any quarters in the answer. Then I knew that the number of pennies had to be 0, 5, or 10 since there is no way for the remaining dimes and nickels to to add up to 35 cents if there were another number of pennies. If you had 5 pennies, then 8 coins would have to add up to 30 cents. Even using all nickels would only use up 6 coins so there had to be more pennies. I then went to 10 pennies and that left 3 coins to get to 25 cents. That's where I came up with 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 10 pennies.
