Answer:

15 quarters and 10 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]q+n=25[/tex]

[tex]0.25q+0.05n=4.25[/tex]

multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add the second equation to it

[tex]-0.25q-0.25n=-6.25\\0.25q+0.05n=4.25[/tex]
________________
                [tex]-0.2n=-2[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{-2}{-0.2} =10[/tex]   has 10 nickels

[tex]q=25-n=25-10=15[/tex]  has 15 quarters

10(.05) +15(0.25) = 0.5 + 3.75 = 4.25

Hope this helps
