Answer:

  • 23 quarters
  • 45 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the number of nickels is 68-q, and the number of cents in the jar is ...

  25q +5(68 -q) = 800

  20q +340 = 800 . . . . simplify

  20q = 460 . . . . . . . . subtract 340

  q = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 20; this is the number of quarters

  68-q = 45 . . . . . . . find the number of nickels

The jar contains 23 quarters and 45 nickels.
