Let x be the number of 10 cent coins and y be the number of 5 cent coins.
We can create a system of equations based on the given information:
1) x + y = 25 (total number of coins)
2) 10x + 5y = 175 (total value of coins in cents)
From equation 1, we can solve for x in terms of y:
x = 25 - y
Substitute x = 25 - y into equation 2:
10(25 - y) + 5y = 175
250 - 10y + 5y = 175
250 - 5y = 175
-5y = -75
y = 15
Now, substitute y = 15 back into x = 25 - y:
x = 25 - 15
x = 10
Therefore, you have 10 10 cent coins and 15 5 cent coins.

Let x be the number of 10-cent coins and y be the number of 5-cent coins.
We know that:
- x + y = 25 (total number of coins)
- 0.10x + 0.05y = 1.75 (total value of the coins)
Solving the first equation for x, we get:
- x = 25 - y
Substituting this into the second equation, we get:
- 0.10(25 - y) + 0.05y = 1.75
- 2.50 - 0.10y + 0.05y = 1.75
- -0.05y = -0.75
- y = 15
Therefore, there are
15 5-cent coins
and
10 10-cent coins
.
