Question 963733: You have a piggy bank containing a total of 99 coins in dimes and quarters. If the piggy bank contains $17.70, how many dimes are in the piggy bank?

d = number of dimes
q = number of quarters
d + q = 99
10d + 25q = 1770
25d + 25q = 2475
-10d - 25q = -1770
-----------------------
15d = 705
d = 47
There are 47 dimes in the piggy bank.
