Answer:

<u>13 Quarters and 18 Dimes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D and Q stand for the numbers of Dimes(D) and Quarters(Q).  Give x and y a break, and make it easier to remember which is which.

D + Q = 31

D = Q + 5

Therefore:

D + Q = 31

(Q+5) + Q = 31

2Q + 5 = 31

2Q = 26

<u>Q = 13</u>

<u>Then D = (13+5) or 18</u>

================

Check:

D + Q = 31 ?

18 + 13 = 31  <u>YES</u>

----------------------

D = Q + 5 ?

18 = 13 + 5   <u>YES</u>

Equation to determine the money that will be received by foundation:

Putting the value of x in the equation above:

M = 0.6 \times 72\\\Rightarrow \$43.2

Answer d.

Given that M = $850, x = ?

Putting the value of M in the equation above to find x:

850= 0.6 \times x\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{850}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x = \$ 1416.67
