Question 133544

Let x=number of coins that Lewis has
And x=number of coins that Julie has also

Value of Lewis's coins =$0.10x

Value of Julie's coins =$0.25x

Now we are told that:

$0.25x=$0.10x+$1.80  subtract $.0.10x from each side

$0.25x-$0.10x=$1.80  collect like terms

$0.15x=$1.80 divide both sides by $0.15

x=12-------------- number of coins that each have

CK
12*$0.25=12*$0.10+$1.80

$3.00=$1.20+$1.80

$3.00=$3.00
