Alison has three times as many dimes as quarters in her purse. She has $9.35 altogether. How many coins of each type does she have?

Sagot :

Answers:  17 quarters and 51 dimes

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

Work Shown:

x = number of quarters

3x = number of dimes

0.25x = value of just the quarters, in dollars

0.10(3x) = 0.30x = value of just the dimes, in dollars

0.25x+0.30x = 0.55x = total value in dollars

0.55x = 9.35

x = (9.35)/(0.55)

x = 17

Alison has 17 quarters and 3x = 3*17 = 51 dimes

17 quarters = 17*0.25 = $4.25

51 dimes = 51*0.10 = $5.10

17 quarters + 51 dimes = $4.25 + $5.10 = $9.35
