Answer:
Susan has:
40 nickels & 10 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she has a total of 50 nickles and dimes I knew that it could be separated into 5 sets of 10. Knowing that 4(10) is equal to 40+10 is equal to 50, I used the 10 for the amount of dimes and used 40 for the amount of nickles. So the nickles (40) are 4 times the dimes (10). We can prove this by multiplying the dimes by 4 (4(10)) and you get 40 and add on the 10 you get the total amount of 50.
I hope this helps:)
