1. Let the shorter piece be x in. long
the longer piece will be x + 13 in. long
and the two pieces add up to be 47 in., so
x + ( x + 13 ) = 47
2x = 47 - 13
2x = 34
x = 17
the longer piece is x + 13 in. long,, or 17 + 13 = 30 in. long
 
2.  number of dimes: x
number of quarters: y
x + y = 27....(1)
10x + 25y = 405...(2)
(1)*10: 10x + 10y = 270....(3)
(2) - (3):15y = 135
y = 9
plug y = 9 into (1), you will find that x = 18
so 18 dimes, 9 quarters 

Answer:

13 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maggie has only dimes and quarters in her purse. She has 27 coins with a total value of $4.05 in her purse. How many dimes does Maggie have in her purse then all you would have to do is divide 27 by .25
