Question 882092
d for dimes, q for quarters.


d+q=23 and 0.1d+0.25q=2.75.


Simplify the money sum equation.
10d+25q=275
2d+5q=55.


The system to solve is 
------------
d+q=23
-----------
2d+5q=55
------------


You can choose Elimination Method and multiply the coin sum equation by 2 so you have:
--------------
2d+2q=46
----------
2d+5q=55
--------------


Subtract the coint sum equation from the money sum equation, eliminating d to find q....
You should find 3q=9, meaning q=3.

Using the original coin sum equation, find that d=20.
