Anne has $3.90 in dimes and quarters she has 4 more dimes than quarters how many coins of each kind does she have.
-------
Equations:
Quantity: d = q + 4
Value:: 10d + 25q = 390 cents
-----
Substitute for "d" and solve for "q":
10(q+4) + 25q = 390
10q+40 + 25q = 390
35q = 350
q = 10 (# of quarters)
===========================
Since d = q+r, d = 14 (# of dimes)
===========================
