Answer 1

Answer:

$16$ is the number of quarters and $14$ is the number of dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\ dime=\ 0.10$

$1\ quarter=\ 0.25$

Let

x-----> the number of dimes

y------> the number of quarters

we know that

$0.10x+0.25y=5.40$ -----> equation A

$x+y=30$ ----Isolate the variable y

$y=30-x$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

$0.10x+0.25(30-x)=5.40$      

$0.10x+7.5-0.25x=5.40$

$0.25x-0.10x=7.5-5.40$

$0.15x=2.1$

$x=14\ dimes$

Find the value of y

$y=30-x$

$y=30-14=16\ quarters$

therefore

$16$ is the number of quarters and $14$ is the number of dimes
