Question

Anatoliy has a combination of 104 nickels and quarters totaling $22. which system of linear equations can be used to find the number of nickels, n, and the number of quarters, q, anatoliy has? Answers 1. Giakhanh The system of linear equation which can be used to find the number of nickles n, and quarters q Anatoily has are n + q = 104 and 1/20(104 – q) + (1/4)q = 22there are total 20 nickels and 84 quarters Anatoily has. According to the given question. Total number of nickles and quarters Anatoily have is 104. ‘n’ represents the total numbers of nickles and ‘q’ represents total number of quarters. So, the linear equation which represents the given condition ⇒ n + q = 104 Since, 20nickles = 1 dollar ⇒ 1 nickle = 1/20 dollar And, 4 quarters = 1 dollar ⇒ 1quarter = 1/4 dollar Here, it is also given that combination of 104 nickels and quarters totaling$22.
So, we have an other linear equation $(1/20)n +$(1/4)q = $22 Form n + q = 104 We can write n = 104 – q Substitute the value of n in$(1/20)n + $(1/4)q =$22
Therefore,
$1/20(104 – q) +$(1/4)q = \$22
⇒ 5.2 – q/20 + q/4 = 22
⇒ 5.2 +  (-q + 5q)/20 = 22
⇒ 5.2 + 4q/20 = 22
⇒ 5.2 + q/5 = 22
⇒ q/5 = 22 – 5.2
⇒ q/5 = 16.8
⇒ q = 16.8 × 5
⇒ q = 84
Therefore,
n = 104 – 84
⇒ n = 20
Hence,  the system of linear equation which can be used to find the number of nickles n, and quarters q Anatoily has are n + q = 104  and 1/20(104 – q) + (1/4)q = 22there are total 20 nickels and 84 quarters Anatoily has.
