The value of an uncirculated mint state-65 1950 jefferson nickle minted in denver is 4/3 the value a 1945 nickle minted in philadelphia is similar condition. together the total value of the two coins is $21.00
the value is 56 my bad
d = 4/3 p
d + p = 21 or 56 or whatever
so
(4/3) p + (3/3) p = 21 or 56 or whatever
so
(7/3) p = 21 or 56
p = (3/7) of whatever
and
d = 4/3 of that
thanks
You are welcome :)
To find the value of each coin separately, we can set up a system of equations. Let's use the variables x and y to represent the values of the 1950 Jefferson nickel and the 1945 nickel, respectively.
From the given information, we have the following:
1. The value of the 1950 nickel is 4/3 times the value of the 1945 nickel:
x = (4/3)y
2. The total value of the two coins is $21.00:
x + y = $21.00
Now we can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.
Substituting the value of x from equation 1 into equation 2, we get:
(4/3)y + y = $21.00
Combining like terms, we have:
(7/3)y = $21.00
To isolate y, we divide both sides by (7/3):
y = ($21.00) / (7/3)
y = ($21.00) * (3/7)
y = $9.00
Now that we know the value of y, we can substitute it back into equation 1 to find the value of x:
x = (4/3)(9)
x = $12.00
Therefore, the value of the 1950 Jefferson nickel is $12.00, and the value of the 1945 nickel is $9.00.
