Answer:
<u>13 Quarters and 18 Dimes</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let D and Q stand for the numbers of Dimes(D) and Quarters(Q). Give x and y a break, and make it easier to remember which is which.
D + Q = 31
D = Q + 5
Therefore:
D + Q = 31
(Q+5) + Q = 31
2Q + 5 = 31
2Q = 26
<u>Q = 13</u>
<u>Then D = (13+5) or 18</u>
================
Check:
D + Q = 31 ?
18 + 13 = 31 <u>YES</u>
----------------------
D = Q + 5 ?
18 = 13 + 5 <u>YES</u>
7 7/8= 63/8
3 1/4= 13/4
63/8 -13/4 we bring to the same denominator
(63-26)/8= 37/8
Write and solve an equation:
Total earnings = $782.75 = s(40 hrs) + 1.5*s*(7 hrs)
Then 782.75 = 40s + 10.5s = 50.5s
Dividing both sides by 50.5: s = 15.5. The attendant's regular hourly wage was $15.50.
