Question 93190: Can someone please help me solve this word problem. I am not able to come up with an inequality.
You have at least $30.00 in change that are dimes and quarters. Write an inequality that shows the different numbers of coins.
Thank you. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have at least $30.00 in change that are dimes and quarters. Write an inequality that shows the different numbers of coins.
---------
Let the number of dimes be "d"; the value of these is 10d cents
Let the number of quarters be "q"; the value of these is 25q cents
----------------
Note: $30 = 3000 cents
--------------------
INEQUALITY:
value + value >= 3000 cents
10d + 25q >= 3000
