Richard has 22 coins with a total value of $4. If the coins are
all quarters and dimes, how many of each type of coin does he have?
-------------
Let number of quarters be "x" ; value of these is 25x cents
Number of dimes is "22-x" ; value of these is 10(22-x) = 220-10x cents
----------------------
EQUATION:
value + value = 400 cents
25x + 220 - 10x = 400
15x = 180
x = 12 (# of quarters)
22-x = 10 (# of dimes)
===================
Cheers,
