: The coin box of a vending machine contains 6 times as many quarters as dimes. If the total amount of money in quarters and dimes is $28.80, how many quarters and how many dimes are in the box? This question is from textbook Algebra 1
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let no of dimes =10x
Then no of qtrs=60x
value of dimes=10x/10=1x
value of qtrs=60x/4=15x
total=15x+1x=16x=28.8 $
16x=28.8
x=28.8/16=7.2/4=1.8
no of dimes=1.8x10=18
vo of qtrs=18x6=108
verification:
value of 108 qtrs=108/4=27 $
value of 18 dimes=1.8 $
total=27+1.8=28.8 $
okay
