Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of half dollars and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.

  • h+q=31 is an equation representing the total number of coins
  • 0.50h+0.25q=11 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.50 and 0.25 come from the value of a half dollar and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get h=31-q. We now substitute this for h in the second equation.

0.50(31-q)+0.25q=11

15.5-0.50q+0.25q=11

15.5-0.25q=11

After simplifying, we subtract 15.5 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

-0.25q=-4.5

q=4

We now know of the 31 coins that 4 are quarters.
