Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the number of quarters (the higher-value coin). Then 8-q is the number of dimes, and Jill's total amount in change is ...
0.25q +0.10(8-q) = 1.25
0.15q + 0.80 = 1.25 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
0.15q = 0.45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80
q = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15
the number of dimes is 8-q = 8-3 = 5.
Jill has 3 quarters and 5 dimes.
