Help me come up with a formula for this problem. We are working with systems of inequalities, and word problems to come up with formulas. But i cant seem to come up with a formula for this word problem:
A coin bank contains $17.00 in pennies and nickels. If there are 1140 coins in the bank, how many of the coins are nickels?
I have tried a few systems and none of them make any sense to me... Any help?
