Let's set up the equations we know.
Q+D=100, where Q=number of quarters, and D=number of dimes
.25Q + .1D = 21.40 (because a quarter is worth .25 and a dime worth .10)
Using the first equation, let's isolate one of our variables. I'll pick Q.
Q+D=100
Subtract D from each side
Q=100 - D
Now that we have this new equation, let's plug it into our second equation.
.25Q + .1D = 21.40
.25(100-D) + .1D = 21.40
Distribute the .25
25 - .25D + .1 D = 21.40
Combine like terms
25 - .15D = 21.40
Subtract 21.40 from each side
3.6 - .15D = 0
Add .15 D to each side
3.6 = .15D
Divide each side by .15
D = 24
Now that we have D, we can solve for Q
Q= 100 - D
= 100 - 24
Q = 76
Sue has 24 dimes and 76 quarters.
Let's check our work to make sure.
.25(76) + .1(24) =
19 + 2.4 = 21.4 √
