Let the Number of Dimes be D, then the number of nickels = 73 - D

By value, 5(73 - D) + 10D = 580 : 365 - 5D + 10D = 580 : 5D = 215 : D = 43

There are 43 dimes.

Let's say the number of dimes Pat has is D. The number of nickels would then be 73 - D. The total value of the dimes is 10D cents, and the total value of the nickels is 5(73 - D) cents. Since the total value is 580 cents (5.80 dollars), we can set up the equation 10D + 5(73 - D) = 580. Solving this equation would give us the value of D, which represents the number of dimes Pat has.
