5.05 in a bowl quarters and dimes kate gets all quarters and pete gets all the dimes. How much money do they get!
:
.10d + .25q = 5.05
you have two unknowns and only one equation (you don't know the total no. of coins)
There are many solutions
Any odd number of quarters up to 19 with no. of dimes equaling 5.05 is possible
From 1 quarter and 48 dimes; to 19 quarters and 3 dimes
