There are 7 dimes and 9 quarters Jayden has.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Worth of dimes and quarters = $2.95 = 2.95*100 = 295 cents
One dime = 10 cents
One quarter = 25 cents
Let,
x be the number of dimes
y be the number of quarters
According to given statement;
10x+25y=295 Eqn 1
y = x+2 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 35
Putting x=7 in Eqn 2
There are 7 dimes and 9 quarters Jayden has.
