Question

Thomas has $6.35 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is three more than three times the number of quarters. How many quarters does he have?

If q represents the number of quarters, then which of the following expressions represents the value of the number of dimes in cents?

3q + 3
6.35 - q
10(3q + 3)

Answer 1

the value would be 10(3q+3)

Explanation:

Answer 2

q = quarters

dimes is 3 plus 3times quarters

so 3q is 3 times quarters

so 3q+3 would be 3 times plus 3

equation is 3q+3

the value would be 10(3q+3)
