Question

Parker has quarters and dimes in his piggy bank he has 4 more dimes than quarters and he has a total of $7.05 in his bank how many dimes and quarters does Parker have

Answer 1

Parker has 23 dimes and 19 quarters.

Answer 2

No. of quarters=19

No. of dimes = 23

Explanation:

1 quarter is 25 cents and 1 dime is 10 cents .

Let the number of quarters = x. Then, the number of dimes = x + 4 . So

( x ⋅ 25 ) + ( x+ 4 )⋅ 10 = $ 7.05 = 705 cents. 25 x + 10 x + 40 = 705 35 x = 665 x = 665

35 = 19

Parker has 19 quarters and 19 + 4 = 23 dimes in all.
