Nickels=54

Dimes=42


Considering that: 1 Nickel = $0.05 and 1 Dime =$0.1 you can write two
equations:

0.05N+0.1D=6.9

N+D=96

Where N is the number of Nickels and D the number of Dimes.

Solving the system formed by the two equations (for substitution, for example)
you get your result.

LET X= NICKELS
96-X= DIMES
MULTIPLY EACH NY THEIR MONETARY VALUE

5X+10(95-X)= 690
5X+960-10X= 690
-5X+960= 690
-5X= -270
X= 54
96-54= 42

ANSWER 54 NICKELS
42 DIMES
