Harvey has 12 coins in quarters and dimes, worth $1.80. How many dimes does he have?
-------------
Let number of quarters be "x"; Value of these is 25x cents.
Number of dimes is 12-x; Value of these is 10(12-x)=120-10x cents
------------
EQUATION:
value + value = 180 cents
25x + 120-10x = 180
15x=60
x=4 (number of quarters)
12-x=8 (number of dimes)
