Answer:

The numbers are 72 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st no. Be y

2nd no. Is 1/3y

y - y/3 = 48

Multiply each term by 3

3y - y = 144

2y = 144

y = 144/2

y = 72

Than the second no. Is y/3 = 72/3

The value of 110 coins, consisting of dimes and quarters, is $20.30. how many of each kind of coin are there?
deff fn [24]
D + q = 110......d = 110 - q
0.10d + 0.25q = 20.30

0.10(110 - q) + 0.25q = 20.30
11 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 20.30
-0.10q + 0.25q = 20.30 - 11
0.15q = 9.30
q = 9.30/0.15
q = 62 <==== there are 62 quarters

d = 110 - q
d = 110 - 62
d = 48 <==== there are 48 dimes
