Answer:
The jar has 32 dimes and 18 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>To solve this problem we can create a system of linear equations in terms of two-variables (say </u><u> and </u>
<u>) and solve it.</u> To begin let us analyze the problem further. We know that the values of each coin type are:
Dimes ( ) = $0.10
Quarters( ) = $0.25
Total Value = $7.70
Total Coins = 50
Now let us set up our system of equations as:
Eqn.(1)
Eqn.(2)
Lets take Eqn.(2) and rerrange it to solve for as:
Eqn.(3)
Now lets plug this, in Eqn.(1) so we get the value of as:
Plugging in back in Eqn.(3) we finally have:
Thus we conclude that in the jar the coins are:
Dimes ( )
Quarters( )
