vodka [1.7K]
Number of dimes: x
Number of quarters:  x + 3
Answer:
B ) 0.10 x + 0.25 ( x + 3 ) = $1.80
Also we can solve this equation:
0.10 x + 0.25 x + 0.75 = 1.80
0.35 x = 1.80 - 0.75
0.35 x = 1.05
x = 1.05 : 0.35
x = 3,  x  + 3 = 6
He has 6 quarters and 3 dimes. 
( 6 * 0.25 + 3 * 0.10 = 1.50 + 0.30 = $1.80 - correct)

4 cups of J for every 7 cups of soda  4:7

21 cups of soda will take 12 cups of J

So you will need to multiply the 4 by the 3 to get the 12. You need to keep everything in proportion.

4:7   same as 12:21
