Scott bought a pen and received change of $4.75 in 25 coins, all dimes and quarters. How many of each kind did he receive?
dangina [55]

Answer:

He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes = $0.10

Quarters = $0.25

Variable x = dimes

Variable y = quarters

Create a pair of linear equations:

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75

x + y = 25

Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y

Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:

0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75

Use the distributive property:

2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75

Combine like terms:

2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75

Isolate variable y:

0.15y = 2.25

y = 15

Plug in the value of y into any equation:

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

Isolate variable x:

x = 10
