$1.30. You can take the two statements and make them into equations. First set X equal to the number of dimes and Y equal to the number of quarters. Next set up your equations. the first .1X times .25Y=4.55 and X=Y. Next use substitution to solve for X, and you get 13. Next multiply 13 times .1 to get 1.3 which is in dollars.
