Jose has $2.50 in nickels and dimes in his jar. If he has 11 more nickels than dimes, how many dimes does he have?

Jose has $2.50 cents in total,

We need an equation to solve this. We will let d=dime.

dime=.10

nickel=.05

.10d +.05 (d + 11) = 2.50

.10d +.05d + 0.55 = 2.50

.15d + 0.55 = 2.50

.15d = 1.95

d = 13

There is 13 dimes. To get the nickels, you just add the 11 to 13 and you get 24 nickels.
