The problem says dimes AND quarters, so I can assume that it is not ALL dimes
\n" ); document.write( "or ALL quarters.
\n" ); document.write( "Let D equal the number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "Let Q equal the number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "\".1D+=+30\" This is if ALL the coins were dimes
\n" ); document.write( "\"D+=+300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".25Q+=+30\" This is if ALL the coins were quarters
\n" ); document.write( "\"Q+=+120\"
\n" ); document.write( "But I know these are not true. What I do know is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"D+%3C+300\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"Q+%3C+120\"
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "\".1D+%3C+30\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\".25Q+%3C+30\"
\n" ); document.write( "I can add these inequalities
\n" ); document.write( "\".1D+%2B+.25Q+%3C+60\"
\n" ); document.write( "Note that if D=300 and Q=120, then I get 60<60, but
\n" ); document.write( "numbers less than these for D or Q is less than 60
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
