Reggie�s younger sister had several coins when she returned from her paper route. She had a total of $5.35 in dimes and quarters. She had six more quarters than she had dimes. How many of each coin did she have?
------------
Without the "6 more" quarters she has $3.85 in pairs of coins.
Each pair is 35 cents
385/35 = 11 pairs
--> 11 dimes & 17 quarters
