Robert started to save money to purchase a new game console. His savings at the end of the first week included a jar of 368 nickels and dimes. The total value of the coins was $24.40. Which system of equations below would be the best to use to find the number of nickels and dimes Anthony had at the end of the first week?


a. n+ d = 368
5n + 10d = 24.40

b. n+ d = 24.40
0.05n + 0.10d = 368

c. n + d = 368
0.05n + 0.10d = 24.40

d. n + 9 = 368
0.5n + 0.10d = 24.40

Answer :

Answer:

0.05n + 0.10 d =24.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickel is worth 0.05 of a dollar(1)

The system of equations below would be the best to use to find the number of nickels and dimes Anthony had at the end of the first week is:

n + d = 368

0.05n + 0.10d = 24.40

The number of nickels and dimes Anthony saved at the end of the first week can be determined using two equations. This is known as simultaneous equations.

The total number of nickels and dimes in the jar is 368. This can be represented with the equation:

nickels + dimes = 368

n + d = 368. This would be the first equation.

A nickel is equal to 0.05 of a dollar and a dime is equal to 0.1 of a dollar. The total sum of money in the jar is $24.40. This means that the value of dimes and nickels in the jar is $24.40. This can be represented with the equation: 0.05n + 0.10d = 24.40. This is the second equation.
