Answer:
Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total amount collected = $8.50 = 8.50*100 = 850 cents
Let,
x be the number of dimes
y be the number of quarters
According to given statement,
10x+25y=850 Eqn 1
y = 3x Eqn 2
Putting y=3x in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 85

As x represents dimes, therefore, number of dimes is 10.
Hence,
Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.
Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles
time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form
You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30
30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.
