Rob has 40 coins, all dimes and quarters, worth $7.60. How many dimes and how many quarters does he have?
We have two equations where d is the number of dimes and q is the number of quarters:
d = 16
q = 24
We have two equations where d is the number of dimes and q is the number of quarters:
- d + q = 40
- 0.1d + 0.25q = 7.60
d = 16
q = 24
