Question 22316: Neese has $7.80 in quaters and nickles. She has 44 coins in all. How many quaters does she have? solve this problem as many ways as you can and describe each method. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let "q" be the number of quarters and "n" be the number of nickles.
Then 25q is the value of the quarters and 5n is the value of the nickles.
Equations:
q + n = 44 (This is the quantity equation.)
25q + 5n = 780 (This is the value equation.)
You may solve this system of equations by 1) substitution; 2)elimination;
3)graphing 4)matrices or 4)Cramer's method.
