Step-by-step explanation:

Brainliest please!

Equation 1, number of coins:

p + n = 20

Equation 2, amount:

.01p + .05n = .56

System to solve:

Β  Β  p + Β  Β  Β n Β  = Β  Β 20

.01p + .05n Β  = Β  .56

--------------------------

Solve by substitution:

p + n = 20

p = 20 - n

.01(20 - n) + .05n Β = .56

.20 Β - .01n + .05n = .56

Combine terms:

.04n = .36

n = 9

Jayden has nine nickels

From equation 1:

p + 9 = 20

p = 11

Jayden has 11 pennies
