Question 998895: You have a bank containing a total of 89 coins in dimes and quarters. If the piggy bank contains $16.70 how many dimes are there in the piggy bank

d = number of dimes
q = number of quarters
eqn 1: d + q = 89
eqn 2: 10d + 25q = 1670
Multiply eqn 1 by 25.
25d + 25q = 2225
- (10d + 25q = 1670)
----------------------
15d = 555
d = 37
There are 37 dimes in the piggy bank.
