Question

n his pocket, Hamid has $2.95 in dimes and quarters. If there are 16 coins in total, which system represents the number of dimes and quarters that Hamid has?

Answer 1

d + q = 16
0.10d + 0.25q = 2.95

that is ur system of equations

Answer 2

x=dimes y=quarters

0.1x + 0.25y = 2.95
x+y = 16

from the second equation, x = 16 - y and thus 0.1 (16-y) +0.25y = 2.95 ==> y=9. Finally, x + 9 = 16 ==> x=7

7 dimes, 9 quarters
