Answer:
1 dime and 10 nickels.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equations:
60 = 10x + 5y
11 = x + y
x is equal to the number of dimes, y is equal to the number of nickels.
Isolate the x variable in one of the equations:
x = 11-y
Plug 'x' into the other equation:
60 = 10(11-y) + 5y
Simplify
60 = 110 - 10y + 5y
-50 = -5y
y = 10
Insert this y value into the original equations to find the value of x
11 = x + 10
x = 1
