Question

If 30 Coins In Quarters And Dimes Are Worth $4.80, How Many Of Each Coin Are There?​

Answer 1

There are 18 dimes and 12 quarters

Explanation:

Remember that

1 Dime =$0.10

1 Quarter=$0.25

Let

x-----> the number of dimes

y-----> the number of quarters

we know that

x+y=30

x=30-y ------> equation A

0.10x+0.25y=4.80

Multiply by 100 both sides

10x+25y=480 ------> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

10(30-y)+25y=480

300-10y+25y=480

15y=180

y=12 quarters

Find the value of x

x=30-y=30-12=18 dimes

therefore

There are 18 dimes and 12 quarters
