Question 105775: You have at least $30 in change in your drawer, consisting of dimes and quarters. Write an inequality that shows the different number of coins in our drawer. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The problem says dimes AND quarters, so I can assume that it is not ALL dimes
or ALL quarters.
Let D equal the number of dimes
Let Q equal the number of quarters This is if ALL the coins were dimes This is if ALL the coins were quarters
But I know these are not true. What I do know is:
and
So, and
I can add these inequalities
Note that if D=300 and Q=120, then I get 60<60, but
numbers less than these for D or Q is less than 60
