You have at least $30 in change in your drawer, consisting of
dimes and quarters. Write an inequality that shows the different number of coins
in your drawer.
-------------------
Let the number of dimes be "d" ; value of these is 10d cents
Let the number of quarters be "q" : value of these is 25q cents
----------------
INEQUALITY
value of the dimes + value of the quarters >= 3000 cents
10d + 25q >= 3000 cents
