Tyrone has 8 coins with a total value of 55 cents. The coins are nickels and dimes only. How many nickels does Tyrone have?

4 are dimes and 3 are nickles

Tyrone has 5 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

The other person's answer is wrong because your question stated "Tyrone has 8 coins" not 7. He has 5 nickels and 3 dimes.

5*5=25

10*3=30

So,

25+30=55.

All in all,

the answer is Tyrone has 5 nickels. Make sure to only put Tyrone has 5 nickels because the question doesn't say how many dimes and nickels does her have, it only says how many nickels does he have.
