Answer:
0.05N - 0.1N + 1.7 (in dollars
1.7 - 0.05N (in dollars)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Total number of coins = 17
Number of nickels = N
Number of dimes = 17 - N
1 nickel = 5 cent = $0.05
1 dime = 10 cent = $0.1
The amount of money :
(Value of nickel * number of nickels) + (value of dime * number of dime)
(0.05 * N) + (0.1 * (17-N))
0.05N + 1.7 - 0.1N
0.05N - 0.1N + 1.7
-0.05N + 1.7 = 1.7 - 0.05N
