A purse contains P5.00 in 10 cents- and 25 cents- coins. If there are a total of 30 coins, find how many of each kind are there in the purse.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: t + q = 30 coins
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq::: 10t + 25q = 500 cents
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify::
\n" ); document.write( "2t + 2q = 60
\n" ); document.write( "2t + 5q = 100
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"q\":
\n" ); document.write( "3q = 40
\n" ); document.write( "q = 13 1/3 (# of quarters: Note: this does not make sense)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "t + q = 30
\n" ); document.write( "t + 13 1/3 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "t = 16 2/3 (# of dimes: Note: this does not make sense)
