    12 dimes and 18 nickels

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Equations given by word problem:

    n + d = 30

    0.05n + 0.1d = 2.10

    How I solved them:

    d = 30 - n

    0.05n + 0.1 (30 - n) = 2.10

    0.05n + 3 - 0.1n = 2.10

    -0.05n = -.09

    Divide both sides by - 0.05

    n = 18

    18 + d = 30

    d = 12
