Homework Statement
Laura has $1.50 in dimes and nickels. She has twice as many dimes as
nickels. How many dimes does she have?
The Attempt at a Solution
12 dimes and 6 nickels, duh.
The actual question is, how would I explain this to an elementary school child who has never had any experience with systems of equations? (the way I did it)
