Answer:

Option C. 0.05x+0.10(x+6)=1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 nickel=$0.05

1 dime=$0.10

Let

x-----> the number of nickels

y----> the number of dimes

we know that

0.05x+0.10y=1.35 -----> equation A

y=x+6 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

0.05x+0.10(x+6)=1.35
