Question 878933: The only coins Ms. Storgaard has are dimes and quarters. Her coins have a total value of $5.80. She has a total of 40 coins. Write a systems of equations to find the number of dimes,d, and quarters, q. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! q + d = 40, d =
25q + 10d = 580 (Cents makes sense)
25q + 10(40-q) = 580
15q = 180
q = 12, the number of quarters. There are 28dimes.
And... = 580cents 0r $5.80
