Question 52063: 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.
The first thing I notice is that there doesn't seem to be enough information, but I sure that is not the case. I think that $30 would be represented as 30 is greater than or equal to 30.

The number of dimes plus number of quarters is greater than or equal to $30
(value)(amount) + (value)(amount) >=$30
.10=the value of the dimes
.25=the value of the quarter, so,
(.10)x + (.25)y>=$30
.10x+.25y>=30
