Question

Use the following scenario for questions 12-14Alison has $5.10 in quarters and dimes in her piggy bank. She has 27 coins in all.12 Write a system of linear equations to represent the situation.

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

piggy bank:

quarters and dimes = $5.10

# quarters and dimes = 27

Step 02:

system of equations:

quarters = q

dimes = d

equation 1:

q + d = 27

equation 2:

0.25q + 0.10d = 5.10

The answer is:

q + d = 27 eq.1

0.25q + 0.10d = 5.10 eq.2
