Answer:

Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount collected = $8.50 = 8.50*100 = 850 cents

Let,

x be the number of dimes

y be the number of quarters

According to given statement,

10x+25y=850     Eqn 1

y = 3x     Eqn 2

Putting y=3x in Eqn 1

10x+25(3x)=850\\10x+75x=850\\85x=850

Dividing both sides by 85

\frac{85x}{85}=\frac{850}{85}\\x=10

As x represents dimes, therefore, number of dimes is 10.

Hence,

Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.
