You can put this solution on YOUR website!
mia has a jar full of dimes and quarters she has a total of $16.00
Assume you want to know how many dimes and quarters
To do this you need to know the total number of coins
d + q = ___
then
.10d + .25q = 16.00
:
We have two unknowns, d & q, therefore we need to have two equations. If you can, add the number of coins and resubmit the problem. Someone will show you how to get the solutions, for sure.
