Using a system of equations, it is found that the meter contains 20 dimes and 10 quarters.

<h3>System of equations:</h3>

For the system, the variables are:

  • x is the number of dimes.
  • y is the number of quarters.

A dime is worth $0.1 and a quarter is worth $0.25. In total, the parking meter is filled with $4.50, hence:

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

There are twice as many dimes as quarters, hence:

x = 2y

Then:

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

0.1(2y) + 0.25y = 4.5

0.2y + 0.25y = 4.5

0.45y = 4.5

y = \frac{4.5}{0.45}

y = 10

x = 2y = 2(10) = 20

There are 20 dimes and 10 quarters in the parking meter.
