Bill has 10 coins, all of which are dimes and quarters.
------------------------------------
If his dimes were quarters and his quarters were dimes, his coins would total 30 cents more.
------------------------------------
How many quarters does Bill have?
--------------------------
Equations:
Quantity: d + q = 10
10q+25d -(10d+25q) = 30
----------------------------
Modify:
d + q = 10
15d -15q = 30
---
Modify:
d + q = 10
d - q = 2
------
Subtract:
2q = 8
q = 4 (# of quarters)
