Set up a system of equations.
0.10d + 0.25q = 39.25
d + q = 250
Where 'd' represents the number of dimes, and 'q' represents the number of quarters.
d + q = 250
Subtract 'q' to both sides:
d = -q + 250
Plug in '-q + 250' for 'd' in the 1st equation:
0.10(-q + 250) + 0.25q = 39.25
Distribute 0.10:
-0.10q + 25 + 0.25q = 39.25
Combine like terms:
0.15q + 25 = 39.25
Subtract 25 to both sides:
0.15q = 14.25
Divide 0.15 to both sides:
q = 95
Now plug this into any of the two equations to find 'd':
d + q = 250
d + 95 = 250
Subtract 95 to both sides:
d = 155
So there are 95 quarters and 155 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:
uhhh what kind of 6 grade math is this?
Most of the information's are already given in the question. It is important to understand the language of the problem for solving the problem. Once the language is understood, then solving the problem is easy.
Let us assume the number of black jelly beans = x
Number of yellow jelly beans = y
Then from the question we can get to a equation.
3x - 7 = y
We also know from the question that
x + y = 225
x + 3x -7 = 225
4x = 225 + 7
4x = 232
x = 232/4
= 58
So Cassidy has 58 black jelly beans out of the total of 225 jelly beans
