The sum of an uncirculated 'Mint-65 '1950 jefferson nickkle mintedd in Denver is 4/3 the value of a 1945 nickle minted in philadephia in similar condition. Togather the total of two coinsis$35. What is the value of each coin?
You obviously meant " The value of an uncirculated ...."
let the value of the 1945 coin be x
value of the 1950 coin is (4/3)x
x + 4x/3 = 35
multiply each term by 3
3x + 4x = 105
solve for x , and sub back into the definitions.
