Kelly has a purse full of quarters and dimes. There are 58 more quaters than dimes and the total value of the change is $19.05. How many dimes are there?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+58) = no. of quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".10x + .25(x+58) = 19.05
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".10x + .25x + 14.5 = 19.05
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".35x = 19.05 - 14.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".35x = 4.55
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"4.55%2F.35\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13 dimes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number of quarters and check the solution:
\n" ); document.write( "13 + 58 = 71 quarters
\n" ); document.write( ".10(13) + .25(71) =
\n" ); document.write( "1.30 + 17.75 = 19.05 \n" ); document.write( "
