Answer:
Number of 10 cents = 18
Number of 20 cents = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of 10 cents be = x
Let number 20 cents be = y
Total number of coins = x + y = 28 -------- ( 1 )
Total amount in the box = 0.10 x + 0.20y = 3.80 ---------- ( 2 )
<em><u>Solve the equations to find x and y</u></em>
( 1 ) => x + y = 28
x = 28 - y
Substitute x in ( 2 )
( 2 ) => 0.10(28 - y) + 0.20y = 3.80
2.80 - 0.10y + 0.20y = 3.80
0.10 y = 3.80 - 2.80
0.10 y = 1.00
y = 10
Substitute y in ( 1 ) => x + y = 28
x + 10 = 28
x = 28 - 10
x = 18
