The total value of nickels and dimes in a bank is $2. If the nickels were dimes and the dimes were nickels, the total value would be $2.35. Is the number of nickels in the bank less than, equal to, or greater than the number of dimes in the bank? Step 1 Use the variable n to represent the number of nickels and the variable d to represent the number of dimes. Compute the total value of all nickels (in dollars). Total value of all nickels = Value of each nickel · Number of nickels = · n Compute the total value of all dimes (in dollars). Total value of all dimes = Value of each dime · Number of dimes = · d
