Question 1057020: Jason’s savings account has $122 more than his brothers. Together they have $354. Find the amount in each account.
Josh has five times as many dimes as quarters. His coins total $5.25. How many of each coin does he have?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let j be the amount of savings in jason's account. Then his brothers are j-122. So:
j+j-122=354
2j=476
j=238
Jason has $238 in his account; his brothers have 116.
Let q be the number of quarters Josh has. Then Josh's dimes are 5q. So:
10(5q)+25q=525
75q=525
q=7
5q=35
Josh has 7 quarters, and 35 dimes. ☺☺☺☺
