38) Number problem. You have at least $30 in change in your drawer, consisting of dimes and quarters. Write an inequality that shows the different number of coins in your drawer.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The basic equation; d = no. of dime, q = no. of quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .25q => 30
\n" ); document.write( "Or
\n" ); document.write( ".10d => 30 - .25q
\n" ); document.write( "Or
\n" ); document.write( ".25q => 30 - .10d
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "dimes equation
\n" ); document.write( ".10d => 30
\n" ); document.write( "d => 300 - 2.5q; divided both sides by .1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "quarters equation
\n" ); document.write( ".25q => 30 - .10d
\n" ); document.write( "q => 120 - .4d; divided both sides by .25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "For example:
\n" ); document.write( "The dime equation shows that if you have 0 quarters you need at least 300 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "The quarter equation shows that if you 0 dimes, you need at least 120 quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Did this help? \n" ); document.write( "
