9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the number of dimes is 16-q and the total value is ...

  0.25q +0.10(16 -q) = 2.20

  0.15q +1.60 = 2.20 . . . . . . . simplify

  0.15q = 0.60 . . . . . . . . subtract 1.60

  q = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

  16-q = 12

There are 12 dimes in the collection.
