Margie has 5 times as many nickels as quarters. She has a total of $2.00.

Part (a) Write a system of equations to represent the situation. Let n represent the number of nickels and q represent the number of quarters.

Part (b) Solve the system you wrote in part (a). Show your work.

Part (c) Interpret your solution in the context of the problem.


P.S. Sorry for asking so many questions, I swear this will be the last one for a while.

The only thing I really need help with is Part A, writing the equations.

Answer:

5n + 25q = 200 - - - (1)

n = 5q - - - (2)

q = 40

n = 5(40) = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Nickels = n

Number of Quarters = q

$2.00 = $2 * 100 = 200 cent

Nickel = 5 cent

Quarter = 25 cent

5n + 25q = 200 - - - (1)

n = 5q - - - (2)

5(5q) + 25q = 200

25q + 25q = 200

50q = 200

q = 200/5

q = 40

n = 5(40) = 200
