Let number of quarters in family piggy bank = x

Let number of dimes in family piggy bank = y


Given that "there are 12 times as many dimes are there are quarters". so we can write equation:

y=12x...(i)


Given that " total change is worth $21.75".

We know that 1 quarter = $0.25 and 1 dime = $0.10

So other equation will be :

0.25x+0.10y=21.75...(ii)

Now we just need to solve both equations.

Plug (i) into (ii)


0.25x+0.10y=21.75

0.25x+0.10(12x)=21.75

0.25x+1.2x=21.75

1.45x=21.75

x=15


plug x=15 into (i)

y=12x=12*15=180


Hence final answer is given as:

Number of quarters in family piggy bank = 15

Number of dimes in family piggy bank = 180

Answer:

They bought 23 tickets for children and 52 for adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you must find what i represents so here it is

A= Adult

C= Children

They both sold the tickets which is going to be

A + C = 75

Now here it shows

12= each adult ticket

8= each children ticket

find the equation like this 12 A + 8C = 808

Now to find the C

You can find by resolving it like this

C= 75 - A

Solve the A and C

4A = 208

A = 52

12 (52) + 8C = 808

624 + 8C = 808

Children = 23

Adult= 52
