Togeher they have 9 + 6 = 15 apples.
Let:
x= quarters
y= dimes
x+y=67
and
.25x+.10y=12.40
x=67-y
.25(67-y)+.10y=12.40
16.75-.25y+10y=12.40
16.75-.15y=12.40
Lets rearrange this:
-.15y+16.75=12.40
-16.75 -16.75
-.15y=-4.35
the negatives cancel out
.<u>15y</u>=<u>4.35
</u>.15<em /><em> <u /></em>.15
y=29
Back to the original x=67-y
x=67-29
x=38
So,
x=38
y=29

They are not in proportion, since its 6:9 round it down (2:3) so pretend the 6 are apples and the 9 are oranges
Every 2 apples there are 3 oranges
So having 9 apples what is that?
2 x ? = 9
2 x 4.5 = 9
So if you want to keep 2:3 you have you times the oranges by 4.5 aswell!
3 x 4.5 = 13.5
So since it is 9:12 not 9:13.5 they are not in proportion
