Charlie goes to his piggy bank and finds 35 coins, all nickels and quarters, worth $5.15. Which system of equations best represents the situation if N represents the number of nickels and Q the number of quarters? N + Q = 35 N = 35 - Q 5N + 25Q = 515 N = 35 - Q 5N + 25Q = 515 N + Q = 35 0.05N + 0.25Q = 5.15
