Answer:

103 dimes and 108 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Value = \$37.30[/tex]

[tex]Amount = 211[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of each coin collected

Represent dimes with D and quarters with Q.

[tex]1\ D= \$0.10[/tex]

[tex]1\ Q= \$0.25[/tex]

So:

[tex]0.10D + 0.25Q = 37.30[/tex] --- Value

[tex]D + Q = 211[/tex] --- Amount

Make D the subject in [tex]D + Q = 211[/tex]

[tex]D = 211 - Q[/tex]

Substitute 211 - Q for D in [tex]0.10D + 0.25Q = 37.30[/tex]

[tex]0.10(211 - Q) + 0.25Q = 37.30[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]21.1 - 0.10Q + 0.25Q = 37.30[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]- 0.10Q + 0.25Q = 37.30 - 21.1[/tex]

[tex]0.15Q = 16.2[/tex]

Make Q the subject

[tex]Q = 16.2/0.15[/tex]

[tex]Q = 108[/tex]

Substitute 108 for Q in [tex]D = 211 - Q[/tex]

[tex]D = 211 - 108[/tex]

[tex]D = 103[/tex]
