D=32+Q Q=? D+Q=$11.6 D=(32*10)+Q= $3.2+Q $11.6-$3.2=$8.4 Each quarter must include 1 dime from now on because there’s 32 MORE dimes than quarters. $8.4/$0.35=24. (Divide 8.4 dollars by 1quarter+1dime, which is 35 cents.)
35 cents goes into $8.4 dollars 24 times. This means there’s 24 quarters and 24 more dimes. Returning to our original equations, D=32+24 D=56 Q=24
This follows the rule of having 32 more dimes than quarters and the two add up to the correct amount, $11.60
