If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:

z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)

Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:

1.2 + z  = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Plug in the values you know:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Solve for x:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8

This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:

She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.

If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.

Answer:

122.67 average

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = (every value added up)/(# of values)

Mean = (105 + 2(110) + 2(112) + 3(113) + 2(115) + 5(116) + 4(117) + 7(118) + 5(120) + 5(121) + 4(125) + 5(126) + 2(128) + 130 + 3(132) + 134 + 3(135) + 2(140) + 2(141) + 150)/60

= 7360/60

= 122.67

I had trouble understanding the data but I hope I did this right!
