Question

Jackie has a jar with dimes and quarters in it. The jar has 5 more quarters than it has dimes. If the value of the coins is ​$4.75​, how many quarters are in the​ jar?

Answer 1

15 quarters

Because 15 X 0.25 = $3.75
$4.75 - $3.75 = $1
$1 / 10 = 10 dimes
15 - 10 = 5 more quarters than dimes
