n = number of nickles
p = number of pennies
Therefore,
p = 12 + n
1 nickel = 0.05 dollars
1 penny = 0.01 dollars
Therefore,
[tex]\begin{gathered} n(0.05)+(12+n)0.01=\text{6}.06 \\ 0.05n+0.12+0.01n=6.06 \\ 0.06n+0.12=6.06 \\ \text{0}.06n=6.06-0.12 \\ 0.06n=5.94 \\ n=\frac{5.94}{0.06} \\ n=99 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore,
p = 12 + 99 = 111
n = 99
One linear equation for the sytem is p + 5n = 606 is true
The system has one solution is true.
