Answer:

16 dimes

34 quarters

34/5+16/10=10.10

The currency called the dollar can be, split into smaller currencies called dimes, quarters, nickels, and pennies.

We have 34 quarters and 16 dimes in the jar.

Let's represent

Number of dimes = d

Number of quarters = q

Note that:

1 dime = $0.10

1 quarter = $0.25

Our system of equations is given as:

d + q = 50.........Equation 1

d = 50 - q

0.1d + 0.25q = 10.10............Equation 2

We substitute 50 - q for d in Equation 2

0.1(50 - q) + 0.25q = 10.10

5 - 0.1q + 0.25q =  10.10

Collect like terms

- 0.1q + 0.25q =  10.10 - 5

0.15q = 5.1

Divide both sides by 0.15

0.15q/0.15 = 5.1/0.15

q = 34

We have 34 quarters

Solving for the number of dimes. remember:

d = 50 - q

d = 50 - 34

d = 16

We have 16 dimes

Therefore, we have 34 quarters and 16 dimes in the jar.
