Ed has 95 cents in dimes and nickels. The total number of coins is one more than twice the number of dimes. How many dimes does she have?
\n" ); document.write( "I'm confused on this because it doesn't doesn't tell me a total number so I'm
\n" ); document.write( "Not sure what to go off of
\n" ); document.write( "The only equation I could think of was
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .05n = .95
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"the total number of coins is one more than twice the number of dimes.\"
\n" ); document.write( "d + n = 2d + 1
\n" ); document.write( "n = 2d - d + 1
\n" ); document.write( "n = d + 1
\n" ); document.write( "now, in your first equation you can substitute (d+1) for n\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .05(d+1) = .95
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .05d + .05 = .95
\n" ); document.write( ".15d = .95 - .05
\n" ); document.write( ".15d = .90
\n" ); document.write( "d = .90/.15
\n" ); document.write( "d = 6 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find the no. of nickels, check your solutions in the 1st equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
