Question 951271: You have a jar of pennies and quarters. You want to choose 15 coins that are worth exactly $4.35
Write and solve a system of equations that models the situation
Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P= number of pennies; q=number of quarters
P+Q=15
P=15-Q
$.01P+$0.25Q=$4.35
However, there is no solution to this problem, as with 15 coins, even all quarters will only amount to $3.75, so you cannot get $4.35 with 15 coins.
