    0.05n + 0.10d = 5.60

    n = 3d - 8

    0.05 (3d - 8) + 0.10d = 5.60

    0.15d - 0.40 + 0.10d = 5.60

    0.15d + 0.10d = 5.60 + 0.40

    0.25d = 6

    d = 6 / 0.25

    d = 24 < = = = there are 24 dimes

    n = 3d - 8

    n = 3 (24) - 8

    n = 72 - 8

    n = 64 < = = there are 64 nickels
