Answer:

  1. $1000
  2. $600
  3. $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the third-place prize value. Then the first place prize has a value of 2t+500, and the second-place prize is 2t+100. The total value of the three prizes is ...

  t +(2t+500) +(2t+100) = 1850

  5t +600 = 1850

  5t = 1250

  t = 250 . . . . . . . . . . . third place prize

  2t +500 = 1000 . . . . first place prize

  1000 -400 = 600 . . .second place prize

The prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are $1000, $600, and $250, respectively.

0.10d + 0.25q = 3.55
q = d + 3

0.10d + 0.25(d + 3) = 3.55
0.10d + 0.25d + 0.75 = 3.55
0.10d + 0.25d = 3.55 - 0.75
0.35d = 2.80
d = 2.80/0.35
d = 8.....8 dimes

q = d + 3
q = 8 + 3
q = 11 <=== 11 quarters
