Cleaning up around the kennel you picked up a total of 52 coins. Unfortunately, they were only pennies and nickels. The value of the coins was $1.20. How many pennies and how many nickels did you pick up?
Solve using Elimination Method.
Let the number of pennies be P and the number of mickels be N.
P + N = 52
P + 5N = 120
4N = 120 - 52 = 68
N = 68/4 = __
