Question

Leo has $4.80 in dimes a d quarters he has 6 more dimes than quarters how many quarters does he have

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

he has 4.80 in dimes and quarters....dimes (d) are worth 0.10 and quarters (q) are worth 0.25

0.10d + 0.25q = 4.80

he has 6 more dimes then quarters

d = q + 6

====================

d = q + 6...so we sub q + 6 in for d, back into the other equation

0.10(q + 6) + 0.25q = 4.80

0.10q + 0.60 + 0.25q = 4.80

0.35q = 4.80 - 0.60

0.35q = 4.20

q = 4.20 / 0.35

q = 12 <====== there is 12 quarters

d = q + 6

d = 12 + 6

d = 18 <===== there is 18 dimes

Answer 2

Leo has 12 quarters in total.
