Question 1105306: Lily has 4 quarters. If she has $5.20 in quarters and dimes, how many of each type coin does she have?
Answer by Fombitz(32388) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4 quarters make a dollar.
So subtracting that dollar from the total leaves $4.20 in coins.
Each coin is $0.10.
So then the total number of coins is,
N=4.2%2F0.1
Work that out for your answer.
