Number of dimes are 18 and number of quarters are 31

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "d" be the number of dimes

Let "q" be the number of quarters

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

value of 1 quarter = $ 0.25

A collection of dimes and quarters is worth $9.55

value of 1 dime x number of dimes + value of 1 dime x number of quarters = 9.55

0.10d + 0.25q = 9.55 ---------- eqn 1

If the quarters were dimes and the dimes were quarters, the total value would be 7.60

quarters were dimes means , q = d

dimes were quarters means d = q

0.25d + 0.10q = 7.60 ----- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find "d" and "q"

Multiply eqn 1 by 2.5

0.25d + 0.625q = 23.875 ---- eqn 3

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

0.25d + 0.625q = 23.875

0.25d + 0.10q = 7.60

( - ) ----------------------

0.525q = 16.275

q = 31

Substitute q = 31 in eqn 1

0.10d + 0.25q = 9.55

0.10d + 0.25(31) = 9.55

0.10d + 7.75 = 9.55

0.10d = 1.8

d = 18

Thus dimes are 18 and number of quarters are 31

lara [203]

Answer:

3/4=ice cream

1/8=chocolate syrup

1/16=cherries

Total=3/4+1/8+1/16

\frac{3X4}{4X4} +\frac{1X2}{8X2} + \frac{1X1}{16X1} \\\frac{12+2+1}{16} = \frac{15}{6}

Total cups =15/6=2.5 cups.
