A jar contains $14.25 in quarters and dimes. There are 75 coins in the jar. Find the number of quarters in the jar.

1 answer:

8 0

Set up a system of equations.
d + q = 75
.1d + .25q = 14.25

Multiply the first equation by -.1 so that the "d's" will cancel.
-.1d -.1q = -7.5
.1d +.25q = 14.25
Now add the two equations together
.15q = 6.75
divide both sides by .15
q = 45
There are 45 quarters in the jar

Answer:

Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have two shapes that are similar their sides are always proportional. So all we have to do is set up a proportion.

$\frac{18}{4.5}=\frac{x}{1.5}$

Now we cross multiply and solve

$27=4.5x\\x=6$
