Question 937224: A pile of thirty-nine coins contains only dimes and quarters. The value of all the coins is $7.65. If each dime was exchanged for a nickel and each quarter exchanged for a half-dollar, what would the new value, in dollars, of the coins? Thanks for your help.
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of dimes
y = number of quarters
---
x + y = 39
10x + 25y = 765
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 39
10x + 25y = 765
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = number of dimes = 14
y = number of quarters = 25
---
answer:
x = number of dimes = 14*0.05 = $0.70
y = number of quarters = 25*0.50 = $12.50
0.70 + 12.50 = $13.20
