Answer: there are 83 dimes and there are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

let n represent the number of nickels

let d represent the number of dimes

equation :

n + d = 107 OR d = 107 - n

0.05n + 0.10 d = 9.50

substitution :

0.05n + 0.10(107 - n) = 9.50

0.05n + 10.70 - 0.10n = 9.50

-0.05n = 9.50 - 10.70

-0.05n = -1.20

n = -1.20/-0.05

n = 24

there are 24 nickels

d = 107 - 24

d = 83

there are 83 dimes
