Carol has some dimes and quarters. If she has 31 coins worth a total of $4.30, how many of each type of coin does she have?

Sagot :

Answer:

23 Dimes and 8 Quarter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Important info:

31 Coins worth a total of $4.30

Note:

Dimes = .10

Quarters = .25

10 Dimes = 1.00

4 Quarter = 1.00

Question to Answer:

How many of each type of coin does she have?

Solution:

Lets get rid of the .30 cent in $4.30 so

.30 = 3 Dimes

Now $4.00,

4.00-1.00 of quarter

=

3.00 and 4 quarter..

Right now we have 3 Dimes and 4 Quarter = $1.30.

And that 7 Coins worth of $1.30.

3.00-2.00= 1.00 and 20 Dimes so now we have

23 Dimes and 4 Quarter.

And that add up to 27.

1.00-1.00 of Quarter = 4 Quarter.

so 31 worth a total of $4.30.

So that's 23 Dimes and 8 Quarter.

Check Work:

23 Dimes = $2.30 and 8 Quarter = $2.00

$2.30 + $2.00 = 4.30

Hence, The Correct Answer is 23 Dimes and 8 Quarter.
