Let quarters = q and
Dimes = d

We have 741 coins total so q + d = 741

Since quarters are 25 cents and Dimes are 10 cents then

25q + 10d = 10725 cents

Now we have 2 equations that we can solve using addition or substitution.

Using addition, first multiply the first equation by -10

-10 (q+d) = 741 (-10)
-10q - 10d = -7410

Now add the equations together

(-10q -10d = -7410)
+ (25q + 10d =10725)
________________
15q = 3315
q = 3315 / 15
q = 221
this is the number of quarters

Now plug this back into the original equation

q + d = 741
221 + d = 741
d = 741 - 221
d = 520

There are 520 dimes

Audrey has $111 to spend on a tennis racket and lessons. The racket costs $55 and the lessons cost $14 per hour. Define a variab
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Audrey can afford 4 hours of lesson.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount Audrey has to spend = $111

Cost of racket = $55

Cost per lesson = $14

Let,

y be the total cost

x be the number of hours

According to given statement;

y = 14x + 55

111 = 14x + 55

111 - 55 = 14x

14x = 56

Dividing both sides by 14

\frac{14x}{14}=\frac{56}{14}\\x=4

Hence,

Audrey can afford 4 hours of lesson.
