Given maria has in the pennies & quarters.
she has twice as many pennies as quarters.
find out the coins
let us assume the quarters are x
than the pennies are 2x.
Formula
value of the pennies + value of the quarters = total value of coins
1 quarters =$ 0.25
1 pennies = $0.01
Thus
0.25x + 0.01 (2x) = 2.43
0.27 x = 2.43
x = 9
2x = 18
i.e the number of quarters are 9 and the number of pennies are 18.
Hence proved
