Solve that by substitution and get 60 dimes and 50 quarters. 60 dimes = 60 times $0.10 = $ 6.00 50 quarters = 50 times $0.25 = $12.50 ------------------------------------- Total = $18.50 Edwin

x the number of quarters
CENTS makes sense
25x + 10(110-x) = 1850
15x = 750
x = 50, number of quarters. Dimes 60
and...checking
1250 +600 = 1850 0r $18.50
