You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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 your drawer.
----------------
Let "d" be the number of dimes and "q" be the number of quarters.
The value of the dimes is 10d cents; the value of the quarters is 25q cents
------------------
INEQUALITY:
10d + 25q >= 3000 cents
