mandy has 15 coins in her pocket that are either dimes or quarters. the value of her coins is $2.85. how many dimes does she have?
------------------
d + q = 15
10d + 25q = 285
====================================
Or:
15 dimes ---> 150
Each dime replaced by a quarter add 15 cents.
285 - 150 = 135
135/15 = 9 quarters
