sally has 20 coins in her piggy bannk, all dimes and quarters. the total amount of money is $3.05. how many of each coin does she have

Sagot :

d=dimes
q=quarters

d + q = 20
.10d + .25q = 3.05

d=-q + 20

.10(-q + 20) +.25q = 3.05
-.10q + 2 + .25 = 3.05
.15q + 2 = 3.05
.15q + 2 - 2 = 3.05 - 2
.15q = 1.05
.15q/.15 = 1.05/.15
q = 7

d + 7 = 20
d + 7 - 7 = 20 - 7
d = 13

Sally has 7 quarters and 13 dimes.
Hope this helps!
