Question

Chi has $11:30 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is three more

Answer 1

Answer:

To solve this question, we first have to know that we are trying to assemble

and solve equations with two variables: x

and y.

Assuming x

is the number of dimes and y

is the number of quarters, we

can assemble the equations.

since the number of dimes is 3 more than three times the number of quarters,

we get x=3y+3.

Additionally, multiplying the number of dimes by 0.1 and the number of

quarters by 0.25,

we get the total value of x

and y

which appears by this

equation 0.1x+0.25y=11.30

.

Substituting the value of x

in the second equation, we get 0.1(3y+3)+

0.25y=11.30

.

Solving this equation, we get that the value of x,

we get x=3×20+3=

Using the first equation to get the value of x,

we get x=3×20+3=

60+3=63

dimes.
