Wendell didn't make it in Nashville. Now he only
has $12 in nickels and dimes left to his name-
barely enough to pay for a bus ticket back
home. If Wendell has 3 times as many nickels
as dimes, how many dimes does he have?

Answer:

Wendell only has $12 in nickels and dimes

Let Wendell have x dimes

If Wendell has 3 times as many nickels as dimes, how many dimes does he have?

Number of nickels = 3x

dime 10 c

nickel 5c

10x+5*3x = 1200 ( $12=1200 c)

25x = 1200

x= 48 number of dimes
