You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have 11.60$ all in dimes and quarters. I have 32 more dimes than
quarters. How many dimes and how many quarter do I have,
-----------------------------
Equations:
d = q + 32
10d + 25q = 1160 cents
-----
Substitute for "d" and solve for "q":
10(q+32) + 25q = 1160
----
35q + 320 = 1160
35q = 840
q = 24 (# of quarters)
----
Solve for "d":
d = q + 32
d = 24+32
d = 56 (# of dimes)
