Now, the nickels and dimes are at ratio of 3:2. However, the total amount is in dollars. So let's convert all amounts to pennies then.
$5.60 is just 560 pennies
3 dimes is just 30 pennies
2 nickels is just 10 pennies

Let the number be x. The other number is also x.
Given the first number is 24.6 and sum is -44.85
24.6 + x + x = -44.85
Combine like terms:
2x + 24.6 = -44.85
Add 24.6 on both sides:
2x = -44.85 - 24.6
Evaluate Right Hand Side:
2x = -69.45
Divide both sides by 2:
x =- 34.725
Answer: The two numbers are both -34.725.
