Question

Veronica has been saving dimes and quarters. She has 94 coins in all and the total value is $19.30. How many dimes and how many quarters does she have.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d + q = 94.....d = 94 - q

0.10d + 0.25q = 19.30

0.10(94 - q) + 0.25q = 19.30

9.4 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 19.30

-0.10q + 0.25q = 19.30 - 9.40

0.15q = 9.90

q = 9.90/0.15

q = 66 <===== there are 66 quarters

d + q = 94

d + 66 = 94

d = 94 - 66

d = 28 <==== there are 28 dimes
