Joseph has only nickels and quarters in his piggy bank. He has 62 coins total for a combined value of $11.10. How many nickels does Joseph have?

9514 1404 393

  22 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels in Joseph's piggy bank. Then the number of quarters is 62-n. The total value is ...

  0.05n + 0.25(62 -n) = 11.10

  -0.20n + 15.50 = 11.10 . . . simplify

  4.40 = 0.20n . . . . . . . . . . add 0.20n-11.10

  4.40/0.20 = n = 22

Joseph has 22 nickels in his piggy bank.
