1.ariel has $5.50 in dimes and quarters. she has 8 more quarters than dimes. How many quaters does she have?
\n" ); document.write( "Let # of dimes be x : value of these is 10x cents
\n" ); document.write( "Number of quarters is \"x+8\"; value of these is 25(x+8)=25x+200 cents
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = 550 cents
\n" ); document.write( "10x+25x+200=550
\n" ); document.write( "35x=350
\n" ); document.write( "x=10 (number of dimes)
\n" ); document.write( "x+8=18 (number of quarters)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------- \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. tenisha and dameisha have the same number of coins. Tenisha has only dimes and dameisha has only quaters. if damiesha has $1.80 more than tenisha does, how much does each have?
\n" ); document.write( "Tenisha DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "# of dimes is \"x\"; value of these is 10x cents
\n" ); document.write( "Dameisha DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "# of quarters is \"x\"; value of these is 25x cents
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "Tenisha value + 180 = damiesha value
\n" ); document.write( "10x+180=25x
\n" ); document.write( "15x=180
\n" ); document.write( "x=12
\n" ); document.write( "Tenisha has 12*10=$1.20
\n" ); document.write( "Dameisha has 12*25=$3.00
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
