Question 987811: You have 20 coins (dimes and quarters) total. They total $3.05. How many dimes and quarters do you have?

d = number of dimes
q = number of quarters

d + q = 20
10d + 25q = 305

Multiply the first equation by 25.

25d + 25q = 500
-(10d + 25q = 305)
--------------------------
15d = 195
d = 13

You have 13 dimes and 7 quarters.
