Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins:
One dime = $0.10
One quarter = $0.25
Let x = number of dimes
y<span> = number of quarters</span>
Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that:
<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y)
Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that:
0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40
To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y)
0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40
7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40
0.15y = 5.40
y = 36
X = 70 – 36
X = 34
Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span>
34 dimes = $3.40
36 dimes = $9.00
<span>Total </span><span>$12.40</span>

Answer
Find out how much money did she start with.
To proof
let us assume that the money she had be x.
As given
woman spent two thirds of her money
Money she had after spent two thirds of her money = Total money - money spent
As given she lost two thirds the remainder
we get
Money she had after lost two thirds the remainder = Money she had after spent two thirds of her money - she lost two thirds the remainder
As given
she had $4 left
thus
x = $36
she start with $36.
Hence proved
