Answer:

There are 6 dimes and 9 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of dimes and the number of quarters by d and q.

Then d + q = 15, or q = 15 - d.

Also, ($0.25)q + ($0.10)d = $2.85, or 5q + 2d = 57.

Substituding 15 - d for q, we get 5(15 - d) + 2d = 57, or

75 - 5d + 2d = 57, or

75 - 3d = 57, or

3d = 18.  Thus, there are 6 dimes.  Since q = 15 - d, q = 15 - 6 = 9.

There are 6 dimes and 9 quarters.

Jobisdone [24]
When you graph an equation, it should be dependent variable against the independent variable. For this problem, the independent variable is the time, so this is along the x-axis. The dependent variable is d, so this is along the y-axis. Since the slope is Δy/Δx, then it is also equivalent to Δd/Δt. Therefore, the answer is B.
