Question 1096865: Josephine has a collection of 180 old coins consisting of quarters and dimes. If she figures that each coin is worth 5 times its face value, then her collection is worth $ 135.00. How many of each type of coin does she have? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let d and 180-d be the amount of dimes and quarters, respectively, that Josephine has. Then
50d+125(180-d)=13500
Solve for d
