A child's coin bank contains $ 2.58 in pennies and nickels. If the number of pennies is 36
less than 2 times the number of nickels, how many pennies are in the bank?
Solution:
Let the number of nickels be x then number of pennies will be 2x – 36.
5x + 2x – 36 = 258
7x = 258 + 36 = 294
x = 42
Number of pennies = 2*42 – 36 = 84 – 36 = 48

x + x - 1.5 = 5.0
2x = 5.0 + 1.5 = 6.5
 x = 3.25
Cost of sandwich = $3.25
