Currency such as dollars can come in various forms such as dimes, quarters, pennies, and nickels.

The number of quarter coins is 12 and the number of dollar coins is 14 coins.

Let's represent:

The number of 1 dollar coin = d

The number of 1 quarter coin = q

The twenty-six coins in my pocket are all dollar coins and quarters. The algebraic equation for this statement above is =

d + q = 26 ........ Equation 1

Making d the subject of the formula

d = 26 - q

1 dollar coin = $1

1 quarter = $0.25

The value of the dollar and nickel coins is seventeen dollars. The algebraic expression for this statement is :

$1 x d + $0.25 x q = 17

d + 0.25q = 17.................Equation 2

Substitute 26 - q for d in Equation 2

26 - q + 0.25q = 17

Collecting like terms

26 - 17 = q - 0.25q

9 = 0.75q

Divide both sides by 0.75

9/0.75 = 0.75q/0.75

q = 12 coins

Solving for number of dollar coins

d = 26 - q

q = 12

d = 26 - 12

d = 14 coins

Therefore, the number of quarter coins is 12 and the number of dollar coins is 14 coins.

Saving money is essential to living life. Everything costs money. Even this wifi? Not free. The device you asked this on? Not free. Saving money is important but why won't people do it? They think its hard, but it's actually easy. Step one, save one cent today, two cents tomorrow, three cents the next day...etc. That leaves you with 365 in the bank if I did the calculations right. Another way you can save is by setting a budget. Pretty easy, but you have to control what you buy and understand that buying this or that could prevent you from buying something else. The last one? Get a job. Preferably a one that gets you a higher pay without actually needing a degree, like a warehouse worker or a waiter.
These methods help you in the best way possible to save money. Good luck!
