[tex]n-\ number\ of\ nickels\\ q-\ number\ of\ quarters\\\\ n+q=12\ \ \ \ | n=12-q\\ 0,05(n+12)=0,25q\\\\ 0,05n+0,6=0,25q\ \ \ | substitute\ n=12-q \\\\ 0,05(12-q)+0,6=0,25q\\\\ 0,6-0,05q+0,6=0,25q\\\\ 1,2-0,05q=0,25q\ \ \ | add\ 0,05q\\\\ 1,2=0,3q\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 1,2\\\\ q=4\\\\ He\ has\ 4\ quarters.[/tex]
