    15 dimes

    17 nickels

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use a system of equations for this

    n is nickels

    d is dimes

    n + d = 32

    .05n +.10d = 2.35

    solve first equation for n and plug this in the second equation

    n = 32 - d

    .05 (32-d) +.10d = 2.35

    1.6 -.05d +.10d = 2.35

    1.6 +.05d = 2.35

    .05d =.75

    d = 15

    n + 15 = 32

    n = 17
