Question

Fiona has 18 coins, consisting of quarters and dimes, in her pocket. She has 6 more dimes than quarters. How many quarters does she have?

Answer 1

Fiona has 6 quarters

Explanation:

If Fiona were to have 1 quarter and 1+6 dimes she would have 8 coins

If she were to have 2 quarters and 2+6 dimes she would have 10 coins

If she were to have 3 quarters and 3+6 dimes she would have 12 coins

If she were to have 4 quarters and 4+6 dimes she would have 14 coins

If she were to have 5 quarters and 5+6 dimes she would have 16 coins

If she were to have 6 quarters and 6+6 dimes she would have 18 coins

Therefore, she has to have 6 quarters in order to have 6 more dimes and a total of 18 coins
