Let d= number of dimes. Let q= number of quarter. Write an equation that relates the amount of money: . Then write an equation to relate the number of dimes and quarters: . Solve the second equation for q by subtracting d from both sides: . Now plug this second equation into the first equation: . Solve for d to get d = 25. Then plug this into and solve for q to find q=14. The number of dimes is 25 and the number of quarters is 14. I hope this helps.
