If Kim had 60 dimes and 62 more quarters than dimes, she would have
\n" ); document.write( "62 + 60 = 122 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "122 quarters = $30.50
\n" ); document.write( "60 dimes = $6.00
\n" ); document.write( "The total adds up to $36.50 , which is not the same as $50.50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"x\"= number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "If Kim had 62 more quarters than dimes,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B62\"= number of quarters.
\n" ); document.write( "The value, in $, of \"x\" dimes plus \"x%2B62\" quarters is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%220.10+x%22+%2B+0.25%28x%2B62%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so the equation to solve is
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.10x%2B0.25%28x%2B62%29=50.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Solving:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.10x%2B0.25%28x%2B62%29=50.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.10x%2B0.25x%2B0.25%2A62=50.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.10x%2B0.25x%2B15.5=50.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.35x%2B15.5=50.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.35x=50.50-15.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.35x=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=35%2F0.35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=100%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Verifying:
\n" ); document.write( "If Kim had 100 dimes and 62 more quarters than dimes, she would have
\n" ); document.write( "62 + 100 = 162 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "162 quarters = $40.50
\n" ); document.write( "100 dimes = $10.00
\n" ); document.write( "The total is $40.50 + $10.00 , which is $50.50.
