Answer :
Nickels=54
Dimes=42
Considering that: 1 Nickel = $0.05 and 1 Dime =$0.1 you can write two equations:
0.05N+0.1D=6.9
N+D=96
Where N is the number of Nickels and D the number of Dimes.
Solving the system formed by the two equations (for substitution, for example) you get your result.

LET X= NICKELS
96-X= DIMES
MULTIPLY EACH NY THEIR MONETARY VALUE
5X+10(95-X)= 690
5X+960-10X= 690
-5X+960= 690
-5X= -270
X= 54
96-54= 42
ANSWER 54 NICKELS
42 DIMES
