Please helppp from edge :)
Bodhi has a collection of 175 dimes and nickels. The collection is worth $13.30. Which equation can be used to find n, the number of nickels in the collection?
0.1n + 0.05(n – 175) = 13.30
0.1n + 0.05(175 – n) = 13.30
0.1(n – 175) + 0.05 = 13.30
0.1(175 – n) + 0.05n = 13.30

Answer:

0.1(175 – n) + 0.05n = 13.30

Step-by-step explanation:

0.1(175 – n) is solving for the amount of dimes, which is achieved by subtracting nickles fromt eh 175 which leaves us with the dimes.

+ 0.05n is the acutal value of the nickles themselves.

If this helps mark me brainliest

Let number of nickels be n

The equation is

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.1n+0.05(175-n)=13.30[/tex]

Why?

  • First we set n by putting 0.1n
  • Then we subtract it from total i.e 175 .
