Kendra has $5.35 in nickels and quarters. If she has 13 more quarters than nickels, how many of each coin does she have?

(Scroll Down for Answer!)

We know that n = q - 13.

The value equation is

5n + 25q = 535 (we work in cents)

Now substitute for n and get

5(q - 13) + 25q = 535

5q - 65 + 25q = 535

30q = 600

q = 20 so that

n = 7
