Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then the number of quarters (according to the friend) is d+8. The total value is

... 10d +25(d+8) = 280 . . . . in cents

... 35d + 200 = 280 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 35d = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 200

... d = 80/35 = 16/7 = 2 1/7 . . . . . not a realistic number of coins

_____

The difference between the number of quarters and the number of dimes may be any multiple of 7.

Luda [366]
The change of the weather balloon would be 90% increase. to get the percentage of change we have to subtract 50 ft to 95 ft, it will then give us the 45 ft change. Then we have to divide 45 ft by 50 ft times 100, it will give us 90%. Then since the change and percentage of change is positive then the change could be describe as increasing.
